4.5/5 Stars: ‘The Gentleman’s Guide to Getting Lucky’ is a Young Adult, LGBT+ Historical Novella by Mackenzi Lee; ‘The Gentleman’s Guide to Getting Lucky’ picks up where ‘The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue’ leaves off, freshly minted couple Monty and Percy fumble through their first time together in this frothy and funny novella. Despite the promiscuousness of ‘The Gentleman’s Guide to Getting Lucky’, it never gets explicit. Instead, it explores the complicated nature of navigating sex, love and fear. Fear about the relationship, the act, and the future. Both Monty and Percy are still charming, but there is a new layer to their being, their characters develop. The novella retains the tempo and voice of the first book, with new, added elements. That said, you must read the first book in the series to fully appreciate the development.
