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!   “Vice has never been more charming and virtue never more daring than in Mackenzie Lee’s superbly written globetrotting adventure. Not since Hamilton the musical has the 18th century been this much fun.” - Amy Cherrix, Malaprop's Bookstore “A Marauder’s Map of the heart, full of pirates, highwaymen, humor and romance. Mischief managed brilliantly!” - Chris Abouzeid, Co-Owner, Belmont Books “Sweet, smart, and powerful, Gentleman’s Guide tackles timely topics that will resonate profoundly with readers--all wrapped up in a truly epic road trip. Prepare to laugh, gasp, swoon, and cheer.” - Claire Legrand, author of the Winterspell series “An outrageously fun, witty, fascinating, and romantic adventure, starring a memorable trio I’d happily travel with for ages. Lee is a definite force in diverse historical YA.” - Dahlia Adler, founder of LGBTQ Reads and author of UNDER THE LIGHTS “Don’t read this book unless you like adventure, hijinks, and forbidden romance, and if you do, then read it twice.” - Stacey Lee, author of THE SECRET OF A HEART NOTE and UNDER A PAINTED SKY An elegant, colorful, swashbuckling good time of a read and a beautiful addition to the LGBTQ+ genre. This is a great novel for upper YA readers and a great adult cross-over title. I definitely have a book hangover after finishing this gem. - Amanda Zirn, Bethany Beach Books ★ “A gloriously swashbuckling affair.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A rollicking ride that also turns a keen eye to issues like class, racism, homosexuality, and identity.” - Brightly “Lee’s rip-roaring, genre-trampling, beautifully affirmative novel absolutely lives up to the hype, whisking readers off on a breathless and refreshingly unique adventure....Her wholly unique voice provides a raucous, funny and devastatingly moving tale of defiant originality, self-acceptance and love in all its wonderful and unpredictable forms. ” - RT Book Reviews “A swashbuckling, fantastical coming-of-age adventure that quite simply swallowed me whole.” - Audible Editor's Pick “If you’ve ever mentally shouted ‘NOW KISS’ at a pair of fictional male best friends, this is the book for you.” - NPR “Delicious.” - Vulture “Monty is pitch-perfect as a yearning, self-destructive, oblivious jerk of a hero who inspires equal parts sympathy, frustration, and adoration from reader. A genre tribute, satire, and exemplar in one.” - The Horn Book ★ “The book’s exquisite, bygone meter and vernacular sit comfortably on a contemporary shelf. And the friction of racism, tyrannical entitled politicians, and misguided disapproval of homosexuality also have a relevance rooted in current culture’s xeno- and homophobia. Austen, Wilde, and Indiana Jones converge in this deliciously anachronistic bonbon.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ★ “Tongue-in-cheek, wildly entertaining, and anachronistic in only the most delightful ways, this is a gleeful romp through history. Monty is a hero worthy of Oscar Wilde.” - Booklist (starred review) ★ “This is a witty, romantic, and exceedingly smart look at discovering one’s place in the world. A stunning powerhouse of a story for every collection.” - School Library Journal (starred review) “ Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue is the queer teen historical you didn’t know was missing from your li
