His quest for pleasures and vices have led to one last hedonistic hurrah as Monty, his best friend and crush Percy, and Monty's sister Felicity begin a Grand Tour of Europe.

This book was such a fun read! I really fell in love with the characters. ( )

What can I say? I'm a sucker for gay YA sometimes. Good balance of humour and characterization. Gay boys romping across Europe in the 18th century, gotta love it. ( )

dnf at 19% because monty is annoying (managed to be both racist and sexist in the first 100 pages) and according to other reviewers he never grows so bye bitch ( )

This was fun, and it was engaging and easy to read. It isn't completely my style of book, this sort of young adult isn't really my favourite, but I didn't think it was too bad, and that bits subjective anyway. In terms of how actually good I thought it was, it wasn't too bad, it's not a bad example of the type of book it's trying to be. I still think it wasn't done too well, the way it was written could have been better, in terms of prose and the way the plot fits together and events happen and that sort of stuff. And the author does fail at making it sound like the characters are really from upper class eighteenth century England, or even that they're any of those things indivually. I know the author's American, so I wouldn't really expect anything else, and also I guess it can be haard to get the balance right between appealing to modern readers and sounding historically accurate (and to be honest I don't really know how people talked then, but I can be pretty sure that they definitely wouldn't say a lot of the things people in this book said). Still even if the quality isn't brilliant, it works as a fun, sort of pseudo-historial novel for teenagers, it wasn't really bad or anything.

Henry Montague is the shame of his family; he goes on a Grand Tour of the continent (with his BFF & crush Percy) with the threat that he shapes up by the time he gets home or else! Delightful Victorian shenigans & romance!‬ ( )

Epigraph
He saunter’d Europe round,

And gather’d ev’ry vice on Christian ground; . . .

The Stews and Palace equally explored,

Intrigued with glory, and with spirit whored;

Tried all hors-d’œuvres, all liqueurs defined,

Judicious drank, and greatly daring dined.

—Alexander Pope, The Dunciad

Let me put it like this. In this place, whoever looks seriously about him and has eyes to see is bound to become a stronger character.
—Goethe, Italian Journey
