About this book
“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?
Censorship history
In 2024, "The Gentleman's Guide to Getting Lucky" was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to its LGBTQ+ themes and content deemed inappropriate for young readers. This decision was influenced by formal complaints from parents and advocacy groups concerned about the portrayal of queer relationships in educational settings. The bans reflect ongoing debates within school boards about the inclusion of diverse sexual orientations in literature, with some districts upholding the bans while others have faced challenges to reinstate the book.
