“...women don’t have to be men’s equals to be considered contenders; they have to be better.” She slumps down in her seat, rubbing her injured arm. “That’s the lie of it all. You have to be better to prove yourself worthy of being equal.”

I think she likes you,” he says. I roll my eyes. “Just because you and Percy live in unholy matrimony doesn’t mean every same-gendered pair also wants to. And we only kissed once, and that was more an experimentation to see if kissing can be an enjoyable experience for me. And the answer is no, though I’d say she’s the best I’ve had. But the point is moot as I don’t think it’s ever really going to be good because I just don’t seem to desire that sort of relationship with anyone the way everyone else does. But just because she kissed me doesn’t mean she likes me. I once saw you necking a hedgerow.” Monty blinks. “I meant likes as in begrudgingly respects, but my word, how long have you been bottling that up, darling?”

this is just so hilarious so yeah yep

The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy book review

The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee (2018)

⭐️⭐️⭐️✖️✖️

"I don’t know what you’re referencing, madam,” the chairman says, his voice raised over mine. “I’m talking about menstruation, sir!” I shout in return. It’s like I set the hall on fire, manifested a venomous snake from thin air, also set that snake on fire, and then threw it at the board.

I got this book after finishing The Gentleman's Guide and i finished it January 18, 2023

This sequel to The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue tells the story of Monty's younger sister Felicity, who were also a part of the adventure of the first book and came out of it a woman with a strong will and backbone for days. This takes place a year after the first book and after Monty and Felicity disowned their parents and went out on their own, Monty to be gay and happy and Felicity with the intention of becoming the first woman doctor, almost a more difficult task than Montys. This quest for finding someone who will teach her and give her a licence takes Felicity all over Europe and even further than that, to discover what lies underneath the Atlantic ocean, during which she rekindles old relationships and makes new ones and have to see how far she's willing to go to fight the patriachy of the world!

i got this book second hand, because i wasn't the biggest fan of the first book (but a fan none the less, thus giving this a chance) and while there were parts i really enjoyed and liked, i was also left kind of underwhelmed with this book. I dont know, maybe Lee's writing just isn't something for me...

but all in all not a bad book. i liked the viewpoints Lee explored about what it truly means to be a woman, challenging the downright prejudice against frilly girly girls and also girls who loves playing in mud. It's nice to read as a woman, to feel seen, heard and representated. 🌸 And not represenation in just feminism and womanhood! i went into this book thinking Felicity was gonna find a pirate wife and that kinda happens, i guess, but also kinda not. Felicity is definitely some kind of aro-ace and she's a queen for that! it's the first book ive read with an aro-ace main character and i really respect Lee for not forcing Felicity to enter a relationship, just to make it a fully romance lesbian story. Even if Felicity liked Sim, or at some point had some sort of feelings for Joanna, if romance and sex isn't for her, that's that. Queen, legend, icon! ✨

All in all, if you wanna read a story about a strong, independent woman fighting every man she comes across, want to laugh at all the "dumb white man" jokes or experience good aro-ace represenation in the main character, this book is a definite read and rec!

The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (The Montague Siblings #2) - Mackenzi Lee

★ ★ ★ ★ ★/5

Another brilliant book with the Montague Siblings, this time with Felicity getting the attention she deserves. I'm so glad both her and Monty decided to take the world on instead of going back to their suffocating home. Felicity aspires to be a doctor and is tired of doors closing in her face. She uses reunites with an old friend, trying to work for said friend's doctor fiancé. Unfortunately, all men are terrible, and he is trying to steal the claim to life saving research. This is a fiercely feminist tale as Felicity not only fights against the gender norms set for her but learns to question her own judgements as well. This is also another great book with queer rep as I'm pretty sure Felicity is canonically on the asexual spectrum!

“You’re trying to play a game designed by men. You’ll never win, because the deck is stacked and marked, and also you’ve been blindfolded and set on fire. You can work hard and believe in yourself and be the smartest person in the room and you’ll still get beat by the boys who haven’t two cents to rub together.”
