"Não somos coisas quebradas, nenhum dos dois. Somos cerâmica rachada reparada com verniz e flocos de ouro, inteiros como somos, completos um no outro.
Completos e valiosos e tão amados."



esse livro é tudo 
é engraçado, fofo, me fez chorar e rir e é impossível não gostar do trio principal, Monty, Percy e Felicity meu novo trio favorito, basicamente a história é sobre Henry Montague "Monty", que vai para sua Tour pela europa com sua irmã de 15 anos Felicity e seu melhor amigo Percy (por qual ele está apaixonado) porém os planos da tour não saem exatamente como planejado

nesse livro tem de tudo, a história é tão engraçada e envolvente, além de não ser um romance de época qualquer composto em maior parte por personagens brancos e heterossexuais, aqui tem:

-personagem bi
-personagem gay
-personagem ace
-piratas
-ladrões 
-alquimistas
-aventura 
-momentos que vão fazer vc rir
-momentos que vão fazer vc chorar

além de tratar vários assuntos importantes e recorrentes da época 
as desventuras do trio principal me fizeram rir tanto, a evolução do monty ao decorrer da história é maravilhosa, ele é tão egoísta e egocêntrico no início e aprende muito pelo livro.
o romance entre monty e percy é tudo na minha carreira, felicity é a patroa (roubei a personalidade dela pra mim) e o final me deixou de coração aquecido. algumas partes não me prenderam tanto, mas ainda assim é perfeito. conceito, coesão e aclamação.


"-E - continuo para interrompê-lo - gostaria que os dois se lembrassem do quanto me adoram e do quanto suas vidas seriam tediosas e tristes se eu não estivesse nelas.

-O que você fez?"

This was a very fun read. The characters' struggles with homophobia, racism, ableism and sexism seem realistic, as does their resolution. I feel like the historical aspect was well researched. I could do without ever reading another reference to 'kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending pottery with gold', though.

A really lovely book. Monty’s development from a brat with a white saviour complex to a more nuanced individual is very nice to see. His experiences with abuse and depression are very realistic, even though it’s set over a hundred years ago. Percy and Felicity are also great characters. The miscommunication plot isn’t great but aside from that I loved this book.
