The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee
2.0
Most of these stars are for Sim.
I had so much hope for this but was a bit nervous to start it. Let's talk about the positives first. Monty and Percy are still wonderful. Sim. Just all of Sim. I absolutely loved her and would easily follow her in any story. Funny dialogue. There were moments through out that had me laugh out loud though I'm not surprised since the first book had me laughing the whole time. The plot line of Felicity and Johanna working on their friendship after having a falling out. Ace rep is always a good thing. But even with all of this I was bored a lot of the time. The plot felt a bit all over the place. Like it was the beginning of one book the middle of another and the end of a completely different book. Felicity has a lot of moments and things she does or will say that I don't like or makes me not like her as a character. Then the biggest issue is the problematic handling of bipoc characters. Before even diving into the reviews that discuss this I instantly felt uncomfortable with how these characters were being treated through out the story. There are tons of reviews that will go into this so much better than I will so I advise you to check those out before picking this up.
