ABSO-BLOODY-LUTELY BRILLIANT. Cute boys with fab hair and awesome humour at sea getting into mischief? 
 This was seriously one of my favourite books like, ever. I LOVED the characters, the plot was kinda wacky but also really exciting, and the humour throughout was spectacular. 
 Henry (Monty) Montague is a sassy little darling, whose inner voice is kind of perfect? It's relatable and endearing, and the way he talks about his one true love, Percy, is so special and unique and it makes me really feel . 
 "it is simply the tale of how two people can be important to each other their whole lives, and then, one morning, quite without meaning to, one of them wakes to find that importance has been magnified into a sudden and intense desire to put his tongue in the other's mouth." 
 I went into this book thinking it would be cute, and fun, and just two boys falling in love whilst fighting pirates, but it had so many deeper underlying topics that really hit home for me, and also focused on some diverse topics. Percy is biracial, Felicity is a badass with the intent of breaking gender sterotypes and norms for the 18th century, and this book also focuses on epilepsy, all which I think are handled and researched really well. (There is also a section in the back of the book from the author which describes research for all of the topics mentioned, which I found fascinating). 
 "I don't think I have to be well to be happy." 
 The relationship between Percy and Monty is really beautiful and slow-burning. Monty has been in love with Percy for years, and their final Tour together before Percy goes to law school and Monty learns to take over his father's business means a lot to the both of them. Their last chance to get into mischief and be boys and have fun. I really found myself rooting for them together. They were just sO DAMN CUTE! 
 "I fell so hard for him there was an audible crash." 
 Also, I really loved Felicity. I thought she'd perhaps be a bit annoying, but she was so empowering and kind and full of wisdom. She had to adhere to the gender norms of her time, but secretly went against them, which I loved. Felicity was a really interesting, developed character, and I really got a good feel for who she was, despite Monty's voice not focusing on her too much. 
 This story was so amazing and special and unique, I've been waiting for its release since March, and it has exceeded all of my high expectations. I seriously recommend anyone to read this. It's diverse and funny and adorable and full of adventure and Monty just being sassy and adorable, and I loved it so incredibly much. I can foresee myself rereading this countless times.
