So much so, in fact, that Phillip proposes to Eloise. The two strike up a friendship via letter, and over time they start to fall for each other. Phillip is left to raise their twins as a single father, but finds solace in Eloise’s letter of condolence. Phillip rescues her, but she dies a few days later. Several years later, Marina attempts to drown herself in a lake. In the book, Phillip and Marina are married and have two children together – a twin son and daughter. In Quinn’s books, she’s only ever mentioned in To Sir Phillip, With Love, and that’s only to set up Eloise’s romance with Phillip Crane. (Yes, the Marina.) While Marina plays a pretty significant role in the first season as a cousin to the Featheringtons, that’s certainly not the case for her character in the books. In the book, Eloise discovers that her cousin Marina Thompson has passed away. But it doesn’t happen until the fifth book, To Sir Phillip, With Love, so we are unlikely to see the storyline play out in the Netflix series anytime soon. Eloise does in fact find love – but it is in a very unconventional way, fitting Eloise’s character – and her rebellious streak – perfectly. But does Eloise ever change her tune? Does Eloise ever marry? Brace yourself, dear reader. From 1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Eloise Bridgerton, in the fifth of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix.

Eloise completely disregarding the notion of having to find a man is nothing short of iconic.

Claudia Jesse’s performance as the witty and brazen Eloise Bridgerton might have often been overshadowed by Daphne and Simon’s love story in season one, but she still became a fast fave among Bridgerton viewers.
