Hi everyone!
So a quick edit: by some error I had scheduled this post to automatically go up on the 25th of July, rather than June as my original tour stop was supposed to be! I've been so busy working fulltime weeks that I didn't even realize it hadn't posted! Please forgive my tardiness, hopefully you guys still enjoyed the little preview I did on Twitter on release day when I did character boards for the book!
You guys won't want to miss this book. It's full of rich writing, multi-faceted characters, representation to your heart's content: biracial, bisexual, asexual, the list goes on! I had such a blast reading this and putting together a moodboard for everyone, I hope this serves as a way to get you in the right headspace when you're reading by giving little snippets of imagery for the setting and characters! Of course, this is simply my interpretation and just a suggestion based on how I read the book.

Synopsis (from Goodreads):
Henry “Monty” Montague was born and bred to be a gentleman, but he was never one to be tamed. The finest boarding schools in England and the constant disapproval of his father haven’t been able to curb any of his roguish passions—not for gambling halls, late nights spent with a bottle of spirits, or waking up in the arms of women or men.
But as Monty embarks on his grand tour of Europe, his quest for a life filled with pleasure and vice is in danger of coming to an end. Not only does his father expect him to take over the family’s estate upon his return, but Monty is also nursing an impossible crush on his best friend and traveling companion, Percy.
Still it isn’t in Monty’s nature to give up. Even with his younger sister, Felicity, in tow, he vows to make this yearlong escapade one last hedonistic hurrah and flirt with Percy from Paris to Rome. But when one of Monty’s reckless decisions turns their trip abroad into a harrowing manhunt that spans across Europe, it calls into question everything he knows, including his relationship with the boy he adores.
Witty, romantic, and intriguing at every turn, The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue is a sumptuous romp that explores the undeniably fine lines between friendship and love.
