The Gentleman’s Guide to Getting Lucky

Reach for this book when your teenager is navigating the transition from casual dating to a first serious romance, or if they are grappling with feelings of inadequacy in a new relationship. Set against a lush historical backdrop, the story follows Monty and Percy as they attempt to find physical intimacy while dealing with deep-seated performance anxiety and emotional vulnerability. It is a candid look at the difference between physical confidence and the emotional bravery required to be truly known by another person. While the book contains frank discussions and scenes related to sexual intimacy, its primary focus is on consent, communication, and the realization that a partner's love is based on more than just physical attraction. It is best suited for older teens who have already read the first book in the series and are ready for a more mature exploration of queer identity and self worth.
