A young bisexual British lord embarks on an unforgettable Grand Tour of Europe with his best friend/secret crush. An 18th-century romantic adventure for the modern age written by This Monstrous Thing author Mackenzi Lee—Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda meets the 1700s.
Henry “Monty” Montague doesn’t care that his roguish passions are far from suitable for the gentleman he was born to be. But as Monty embarks on his grand tour of Europe, his quests for pleasure and vice are in danger of coming to an end. Not only does his father expect him to take over the family’s estate upon his return, but Monty is also nursing an impossible crush on his best friend and traveling companion, Percy.
So Monty vows to make this yearlong escapade one last hedonistic hurrah and flirt with Percy from Paris to Rome. But when one of Monty’s reckless decisions turns their trip abroad into a harrowing manhunt, it calls into question everything he knows, including his relationship with the boy he adores.
Witty, dazzling, and intriguing at every turn, The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is an irresistible romp that explores the undeniably fine lines between friendship and love.
Don't miss Felicity's adventures in The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy, the highly anticipated sequel!

Underbar, charmig och rolig bok som fick mig att skratta högt flera gånger blandat med känslomässiga stunder. Helt klart en ny favorit❤

Vet inte om det var för att jag är för gammal eller om jag hade förväntat mig en annan typ av bok. Men den här blev inte en favorit och jag kan inte riktigt sätta fingret på varför. Den kändes bara lite off. Vet inte om det var karaktärerna som inte riktigt höll måttet. Men det var mycket äventyr för pengarna här. Så är det det man vill ha lyssna på den här boken. Vill man dock ha äventyr men också bra karaktärer och mer kärlek, läs "the queer principles of Kit Webb" av Cat Sebastian

The protagonist takes on a great growing arch. He learns about white, male privilege, as well as his own worth. He has a badass sister and the book in whole takes on much more adventure than I thought could fit coherently in one single book.
