reasons to read the gentleman’s guide to vice and virtue:

• it’s the queer historical road trip novel you never realised you needed
  
• the friends-to-lovers trope! the sharing-a-bed trope!! the mutual pining trope!!! the everyone-knows-their-feelings-are-reciprocated-except-for-them trope!!!!
• basically monty and percy are the cutest and i can 100% guarantee they’re going to be everyone’s new otp
• a super smart, no-nonsense girl who is basically the embodiment of a slytherclaw (and also seems very aroace after deciding that kissing isn’t really her thing)
• main characters with disabilities! incl. a disabled love interest who adamantly doesn’t want a cure-all, and whose disability doesn’t make him any less desirable
  
• comically inept and lovable pirates
• tl;dr: a historical novel that acknowledges that queer people, disabled people and people of colour have always existed and puts them front and centre, while acknowledging the hardships they faced
• also ALL YOUR FAVES LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER
