It took me 3ish years but I finally finished！ I originally picked this up in 2018 and got sidetracked with other titles。 I enjoyed what I read of it back then and when I started it this time around， bits and pieces came back。 The self-discovery， acceptance， adventure， romance， historical parts were all adorable but Henry/Monty as a narrator got very very annoying。

Wow！ This book was a whole journey that I absolutely didn't expect。I picked this up because it's one of the newest queer YA novels that gets raved about。 I'd been told that it features a bi lead and that his sister is ace or aro， and given its historical setting， I absolutely lapped it up （hey， the 1700s is my favourite historical era， what can I say）。 Everything else was new to me。And I got so much more than I expected！ A biracial love interest， a healthy exploration of bisexuality， mental illn Wow！ This book was a whole journey that I absolutely didn't expect。I picked this up because it's one of the newest queer YA novels that gets raved about。 I'd been told that it features a bi lead and that his sister is ace or aro， and given its historical setting， I absolutely lapped it up （hey， the 1700s is my favourite historical era， what can I say）。 Everything else was new to me。And I got so much more than I expected！ A biracial love interest， a healthy exploration of bisexuality， mental illness， epilepsy， a quasi-fantastical mystery and pirates！ I didn't anticipate any of this， and I'm so glad I read it。 The writing is so fun and easy to take in， and though there were definitely a handful of historical inaccuracies （the usage of 'corsets' over 'stays'， for insistence）， I could accept it better than other novels that make similar mistakes。 And sure， Monty does make a good point about what the hell he and Percy would do if they cast off their families， but I love a bit of a happily ever after。 I've got the second book on my 'to-borrow' list， as well as The Gentleman's Guide to Getting Lucky。 There's so little ace rep out there， and I'm always on the hunt for it， so I can't wait to give it a read。Given the slog of bad books I've read lately， this has been a very， very welcome change。 。。。more

i fucking hate henry montague’s guts。 absolutely zero sympathy for that insufferable spoiled brat。 he’s entitled and self-absorbed and embarrassing and pathetic and worthless。 i also hated every side character who tried to elicit sympathy for him or tell him he’s not that bad。 he is utterly despicable from beginning to end and i very much regret not dumping this book as soon i realized i want to strangle the protagonist in the first chapter。 i would have liked to see him suffer a horrible and pa i fucking hate henry montague’s guts。 absolutely zero sympathy for that insufferable spoiled brat。 he’s entitled and self-absorbed and embarrassing and pathetic and worthless。 i also hated every side character who tried to elicit sympathy for him or tell him he’s not that bad。 he is utterly despicable from beginning to end and i very much regret not dumping this book as soon i realized i want to strangle the protagonist in the first chapter。 i would have liked to see him suffer a horrible and painful death， but alas， it was not to be。i am baffled by all the rave reviews。 all i feel after reading the book is rage and hatred。 i would give this zero stars if i could。 。。。more

I was listening to this in audiobook。 The narrator was absolutely delightful， the writing was well-done， the snark was hilarious， and the UST/yearning was delicious--but Monty is such an absolute mess that I couldn't stick with it。 It's not even really that he's a disaster gay but more that in his disasterrific shambling he really hurts people and doesn't know what to do about it so hurts them more--listen， it might be realistic， but I just couldn't handle it。 I did really like where the plot wa I was listening to this in audiobook。 The narrator was absolutely delightful， the writing was well-done， the snark was hilarious， and the UST/yearning was delicious--but Monty is such an absolute mess that I couldn't stick with it。 It's not even really that he's a disaster gay but more that in his disasterrific shambling he really hurts people and doesn't know what to do about it so hurts them more--listen， it might be realistic， but I just couldn't handle it。 I did really like where the plot was going， and would still recommend it to people with a higher tolerance for disasters than I have。 。。。more
