This week I am waiting on
The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (Guide #2) by Mackenzi Lee

Publication Date: October 2nd, 2018

Goodreads Summary
Felicity Montague is through with pretending she prefers society parties to books about bone setting—or that she’s not smarter than most people she knows, or that she cares about anything more than her dream of becoming a doctor.

A year after an accidentally whirlwind tour of Europe, which she spent evading highwaymen and pirates with her brother Monty, Felicity has returned to England with two goals in mind—avoid the marriage proposal of Callum Doyle, a lovestruck suitor from Edinburgh; and enroll in medical school. However, her intellect and passion will never be enough in the eyes of the administrators, who see men as the sole guardians of science.

But then a small window of hope opens. Doctor Alexander Platt, an eccentric physician that Felicity idolizes, is looking for research assistants, and Felicity is sure that someone as forward thinking as her hero would be willing to take her on. However, Platt is in Germany, preparing to wed Felicity’s estranged childhood friend Johanna. Not only is Felicity reluctant to opening old wounds, she also has no money to make the trip.

Luckily, a mysterious young woman is willing to pay Felicity’s way, so long as she’s allowed to travel with Felicity disguised as her maid. In spite of her suspicions, Felicity agrees, but once the girl’s true motives are revealed, Felicity becomes part of a perilous quest that will lead her from the German countryside to the promenades of Zurich to secrets lurking beneath the Atlantic.

I’ve heard nothing but great things about the first book in this series, The Gentlemen’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, and truth be told I still have no idea what that book is about. Based on this synopsis alone this book sounds like one heck of a fun ride. I can’t wait to see the lengths Felicity is willing to go to in order to achieve her dream. There’s always something admirable about a woman fighting for her right in a male-dominated environment. Let’s just hope she doesn’t lose herself along the way.
