The Gentleman's Guide to Getting Lucky
The Gentleman's Guide to Getting Lucky | Mackenzi Lee
31 posts | 38 read | 14 to read
"The queer teen historical you didn't know was missing from your life." -- Teen Vogue, on The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue In this funny and frothy novella that picks up where the New York Times bestselling The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue leaves off, freshly minted couple Monty and Percy fumble through their first time together. Monty's epic grand tour may be over, but now that he and Percy are finally a couple, he realizes there is something more nerve-wracking than being chased across Europe: getting together with the person you love. Will the romantic allure of Santorini make his first time with Percy magical, or will all the anticipation and build-up completely spoil the mood?

A lovely little interlude that deals with relationship anxiety and communication

This is a fun continuation of A Gentleman‘s Guide to Vice and Virtue. It picks up with everyone enjoying some R&R before making their return to England. The focus is on Monty‘s and Percy‘s attempts to consummate their relationship. In typical fashion, nothing goes as planned, Percy acts as a gent, and Monty a bit of a diva. If you loved the original, this is a great way to spend 2 hours and the narration by Christian Coulson is grand. 4/5

A cute kind of epilogue to Gentlemen's Guide. Writing felt kind of awkward to begin with but figured itself out by the crux of the novella and its title elements.

Thankfully it was a short book otherwise I‘d have melted reading it outside.

Monty and Percy are my new favorite couple. This novella gives a little more view into the comedy of errors that is their relationship. Takes place after Gentleman‘s Guide.

SiameseCatsRead I found it too short. I know it was written as a novella, but I wanted more! 4y
K.Wielechowski @kelly_anne absolutely! To be honest, I could stand to read 4-5 books of Monty and Percy‘s adventures. Can‘t wait to see how the third book fits into the trilogy. 4y

4.5/5⭐ Lee does an incredible job of taking the reader through Monty's insecurities and making them feel entirely real, reasonable, and relatable. She also does a phenomenal job of making the reader laugh out loud and shake their head at all the characters. The dialogue is great, the emotional arcs are great, and I was entertained every second. These characters are ridiculous and frustrating and hilarious and I love them.

I would teach my body to regrow my heart each time I gave it to him, over and over and over again. Heart after heart after heart—every one of them his.

And it‘s going to be a disaster. But that‘s all right, because we‘ll have each other, and there‘s no one on this goddamn planet I‘d rather be a disaster with than you.

MONTY. This excuse should not be valid for a grown-ass adult! (But it's so painfully accurate omg.)

“Do you mean to tell me that you have not actually fornicated yet?“

IT'S THE FIRST LINE OF THE BOOK. Very promising. 😄

Also loving the little illustrations throughout. #firstline

This novella was a sweet addition the the series. Monty and Percy work through some insecurities and strengthen their relationship. Could have been longer, imho, but I think I‘ll always want more of this series!

Above is the dedication of the book. 😅

Soubhiville That‘s great 😂🤣 5y

Welp, Tilney saw an opportunity to jump into the empty laundry bag... and then couldn‘t figure out how to get out. And because I‘m as much of a jerk as him I let him vocalize his displeasure for a bit before helping him out. In my defense, I honestly thought he‘d figure it out in his own. 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️
Really love it when the kittehs ‘help‘ out with the chores. 😂

A cute enough story for fans of Percy and Monty who will read anything about them but really it‘s nothing of substance and felt more like fanfiction than an officially-authored novella.

A cute novella set after book one in this series. Definitely not a stand alone.

My next #weeklyforecast features my slightly out of control bedside reading stack.

I‘m currently reading the tagged novella. It‘s a delight.

I‘m intrigued by THE QUEENS OF INNIS LEAR, but I‘m still not sure if I‘m in the right mood for it. I‘ll probably take a break at page 100 and reassess after I‘ve read something else.

Colette‘s my current short fiction collection.

I might not finish CRISIS.

I‘ll keep plugging away at the Sagas and Limón.

This felt like getting a few extra chapters of The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue. A quick, adorable follow up with Percy and Monty (love them!). Takes place after the first book in the series but before Felicity's story in book two ❤️

My friend let me use their cabin upstate for the holiday weekend and it's been wonderful. Not quite ready to go home 😭

Cortg Awe, I read this book this morning as well! ❤️ 5y
MissAimz_55 Going to have to read this . I loved both gentleman‘s guide and the lady‘s guide . 5y

I was adding to a teen display I have at work and came across this little gem of a novella! A fun little side story of Monty and Percy‘s relationship packed with lots of amusement and emotion. Passing this on to my daughter before returning it.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I really enjoyed this novella. It is a short but sweet glimpse into Monty and Percy‘s days after the first novel left off. I absolutely love these two and this book made me laugh and smile! 😊 #mustread #lgbtq #YA #bibliophile

Last night was another one of those nights where I could not sleep for the life of me. Knowing I had to be awake at 4:45am, I tried to go to sleep at 9pm, but ended up tossing and turning until 2:30am. On the plus side, I managed to finish off 3 audiobooks, and start on a 4th. The tagged being my favourite of the lot.

Now I‘m sleepy and cranky, and off to start my first of seven shifts in a row. 😅 #JumpStart2020 @Lizpixie

I knew going in this was going to be hilarious and adorable but I was not prepared for the depth of emotions, especially since the book was so short. Fans of Monty & Percy will not be disappointed! #Booked2020 #finishinaday

Also my pick for #PopSugar2020 A book with a great first line - “Do you mean to tell me that you have not actually fornicated yet?” 😂

This novella is set directly after the resolution of the first in the series. I read it quickly but it is just as delightful as the first novel. I hear good things about the audio, too...the same actors reprising their roles from the first audio-which was spectacular. #queerlit #queerYA

I loved Monty and Percy in The Gentleman‘s Guide to Vice and Virtue. I was bummed when I couldn‘t read this when it first came out. So I was so excited when I saw that it was being released again. My only complaint is that I wish it was long. I wanted to know more about Monty and Percy. Can‘t wait until the next Montague Sibling book comes out!

alisiakae Did you hear the first book is being made into an HBO film! 5y

I had forgotten that this novella was being released today until I saw it on my kindle this morning. I‘ve been very busy today w/ work & still have a bunch of work tonight, but I started this at lunch & am going to take a break to finish it. Enjoying the brief visit w/ Monty, Percy, & Felicity, then waiting until August for the next book.

Monty is a disaster. Felicity tries to help. Percy is adorable. Incredibly funny and sweet.

First read when it was gift from author for Pre Ordering: The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy
Glad it finally made it to actual Book. Can't wait to see more of this family in: The Nobleman's Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks. 💙💙💙💙💙
