Lo sospechaba desde la página 50 y he mantenido esta idea durante el resto del libro: De cabeza a favoritos. Yo venía a esta lectura por los jajas y me he encontrado con un drama salpicado de humor que cuando menos me lo esperaba me daba una bofetada en la cara.
Brillantes los personajes, brillante la trama y brillante la escritura. Creo que es una de las cosas que más me ha gustado de todo el libro, el cómo está escrito. Qué bello y qué ligero al mismo tiempo, qué inspirador como escritora.
Me encandiló la narración pero luego llegó Henry Montague y os juro que nunca he sentido tantísimas ganas de abrazar y dar una colleja a un personaje al mismo tiempo. Me flipan los protagonistas imbéciles, pero es que Monty es de los más frustrantes y enriquecedores que he leído en mucho tiempo, y lo más bonito es que no lleva todo el peso de la historia él solo, es que cuidado con Percy y Felicity, que están tan bien construidos y transmiten tanto y tan bien que dan ganas de abrazar el puñetero libro como confieso que he hecho en alguna ocasión (también le he dado golpes contra el sofá, no os voy a mentir).
Qué gusto leer libros con esta calidad en todos los sentidos.

4.5 stars, really. Delightful, but left me with one frustration: that we don't find out (yet?) what happens to Felicity (although I think I know why that plate suddenly clattered to the floor in the kitchen. 😉) Also, that kissing is as far as we see things go with Percy and Monty. So, make that two frustrations. Anyway, *highly* entertaining. Reminded me a bit of Eli Brown's "Cinnamon and Gunpowder." Here's hoping we get a sequel.

just fluffy, dramatic, and gay enough to make me feel invested. you can very much tell this book was written in the 2010’s but it’s just what i needed.. i think the way queer fiction was written then all had the same voice/perspective even when trying to be diverse or go into history. overall it was fun!
i loved the parts about venice having been there last september it was fun to be able to understand the city more then i typically can in books.
the main character was almost too annoying/oblivious. i would say this was definitely a comfort read. if you miss being a gay tumblr teen reading gay romance this is for u!

I am all in favor of boys kissing boys and having a life together and the three main characters are wonderfully and painfully real and also obnoxious as F. At least one is, and he is an absolute cad (albeit a fondly endearing one). The other two characters are solid and smart and significantly less obnoxious and I sympathized with them like woah.
However, despite the highwaymen and the mad dash across the Continent and the pirates, this book is 85% mushy romance and FEELINGS and the two lovebirds being way too stubborn to actually admit to the love bit. You know... like a romance. And being the gleefully unattached old spinster I am, I definitely don't have a lot of patience for romance and mushiness of any sort.
Yay boys! Yay BFF+! Ugh romance.
