4.5

For fans of 1700's fare, The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue has everything a puffy pirate shirt wearing son of a lord might desire. Big cities, treasure, pirates, kidnappings, escapes, and yes, even true love. This is a kissing book.

Wasn't super into it in the first half, but the second half really had me. My only main concern is the random and sudden vivid descriptions of suicide ideation and self-harm which were off-putting and honestly unnecessary.
