A hilarious and swashbuckling stand-alone teen historical fiction novel, named one of summer's 20 must-read books by Enternatinment Weekly! 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.

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.
Unfortunately this book didn't get me as I hoped it to do so. I read it because of the many positive stories I heard accompanied by really high ratings. However, I've been trying for almost a week now and I'm still stuck on the road between Paris and Marseille. This book unfortunately fails to keep my attention. I get distracted like every 15 minutes, pick up other books first and I can't seem to get through this book. Therefore, I will DNF it for now, spend my precious time on other books and maybe I will give it another try later on. However, I said this about more books, but never diid oops 😄
