The Gentleman's Book of Vices by Jess Everlee
4.0
Found family and and a good romance are all I need in a story these days, and this one featured both. The Gentleman's Book of Vices was honestly a lot more heartfelt than the synopsis makes it out to be, presenting a handful of varyingly troubled characters that I came to adore. The grumpy x sunshine dynamic is always a delight to read about when executed well, and I loved it in this case, where both the protagonist and love interest had intriguing backstories to explain their demeanor (particularly Miles, the poor guy).
For such a short book, Everlee accomplished a decent amount of character development, with just enough background plot to propel the central romance. One of my favourite scenes was when Charlie finally introduced Miles to his sweet friends (more family than anything) at The Curious Fox; I just loved the dynamic between them all! This was such a charming little book, one that's perfect for escaping a reading slump, or when you're simply in need of a mindless read.
