5.0

It's a good book if you want to get somewhere a historically accurate queer couple from the 70's (I think that's when the story takes place). The amount of character development from Monty is a lot and it all is reasonable. Monty's relationship with Felicity was quite impressive. And I can't end this review without mentioning the beauty of Monty and Percy. They go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly. 5 Stars🌟

A cutesy but kinda flat YA adventure novel. I was enjoying it up until the Robles got involved and then it just…well, deteriorated

Greatly exceeded my expectations. Adventurous and funny in all the right ways; this was the first book following baroque culture that I genuinely enjoyed. Plot points do get a touch repetitive.

I like the broad representation in this book, and I like the way it’s written - it’s funny in a beautiful kind of way.
Other than that I found this book very underwhelming and a bit disappointing.
Mainly because the main character, Monty, is useless and very annoying.
