【Secretive Boarding House】

BridgertonSeason 2 just hit Netflix,Secretive Boarding House which means it's time to revisit our very serious ranking of crushes from the Netflix series. The Duke of Hastings may be out of the picture, but the ton is still pesky with crush material, from the generally unimpressive Bridgertons right up to our own picks for the diamond of the season.

This time around, we divided our crushes into categories, and we stayed away from married members of the ton (with a few exceptions). Most of these characters are clamoring to get married anyway, and we are available!
