The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee
5.0
I listened to The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue and knew I had to listen to this one as well. I finally buckled down and listened to it and adored it. I wasn't a huge fan of Felicity in the first book, probably because Percy and Monty are so adorably cute, but in this book Felicity showed me how much I was missing out on.
This book does amazing things. It truly goes into the trope of the strong woman character and what that means. See, Felicity judges everyone...harshly. She thinks she does things the only right way, yet Johanna is also quite feminist and wants to travel, she just wants to do it in style with cute things. Then there is Sim, glorious Sim who might have been my favorite character, who wants to...um... be a leader, we shall say, but her style is more aggressive than the other two. Felicity has to learn to stop putting other women down for liking feminine things and UGH I love it. I should also say I totally shipped her and Sim and then was shipping her with Johanna, and truly could have immensely happy with all three of them in a relationship together.
The story was fabulous. I loved the adventure, I loved journeying with Felicity and watching her grow and change and realize our dreams are allowed to change.
This book made me laugh, cry, and sigh dreamily. Definitely worth the read.
