The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue
by Mackenzi Lee
The main character, Monty, is a bisexual man, and it takes place in the 1800's, so naturally he runs into some big problems with that one. He's the son of an Earl in London and he's kind of a privileged snot, but he's a really fun witty privileged snot, who also has personal shit and trauma to deal with, so you can't help but love him.
Him and his best friend Percy, who Monty is secretly in love with, and also is a black man who he's also plenty of personal trauma and problems to spare, are supposed to tour the continent for the year, before he's expected to come home, grow up, settle down and run his father's estate. His sister, Felicity, is supposed to be with them for a month or so before she's meant to go to school, and she's a total badass. But things go amuck and, basically Monty ropes them into trouble, causing their tour to go awry and become quite the trip.
It's a mix of a historical fiction and an adventure novel with great writing, complex characters and quick wit and I really loved it.
