Title: The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue
Author: Mackenzi Lee
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Pages: 513
Date(s) Read: 9/18-10/27
Synopsis (from GoodReads):
Henry “Monty” Montague was born and bred to be a gentleman, but
he was never one to be tamed. The finest boarding schools in England and
the constant disapproval of his father haven’t been able to curb any of his
roguish passions—not for gambling halls, late nights spent with a bottle of
spirits, or waking up in the arms of women or men.
Rating: 4/5
Gentleman’s Guide was a special book for me before I even read it because
it was the first book that I ever defaced.
Henry Montague was born to be a gentleman, but gentleman he is not.
“Monty” as Henry is known by his sister Felicity and his best friend Percy, is
about to leave on his grand tour of Europe, which turns out to be nothing like he
planned. His father has him meeting with high members of society along the way as
he plans to have Monty take over the family estate when he returns. On top of that;
both to the dismay of Monty and Felicity: their father has Felicity tag along with
Monty and Percy to drop her off at finishing school. Plus Monty is dealing with an
impossible crush, and turns their trip into a man hunt with his reckless roguish decisions.
I really enjoyed Mackenzi’s writing style, I was kept intrigued through the entire
book. As wild and reckless as Monty is, or Percy’s kind thoughtful manner, my favorite
character is actually Felicity as she tends to have her nose in a book, she is passionate
about science and does everything she can to learn more; and avoid finishing school
while trying to keep her brother from making too rash decisions. I’m looking
forward to follow her story in The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy.
