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.

i loooooved this book when i first read it in 2018, absolutely was the best time i had reading in a long time, but upon revisiting it in 2021 i've realised that my enjoyement of it was... Extremely dependant on the fact that i was a 19 year old depressed alcoholic and also a major inconsiderate asshole, so therefore i really related to the main character, who is an 18 year old depressed alcoholic who's also a major inconsiderate asshole. so as a 22 year old who's on depression medication and who hasn't touched alcohol in like twoish years and who's also working on the whole "being less of an asshole" thing, i now think this book is just okay. and that's alright

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.
