Like the first two books in the series, this one takes a bit to really get going, but once it does, it moves quickly.

Ultimately, it ended up being my favorite of the series. It gives great insight into what it is like to live with severe anxiety, and it portrays this without falling into the far-too-frequent narrative of anxiety being a disease that must be cured. I came away from the book understanding anxiety in a way that I had previously struggled to do, and that understanding has helped me better support those in my life with anxiety.

Lee is a beautiful writer with a gift for building characters that feel real. I would sya this was the least gripping of the series but I did love Adrian's struggle with mental ilness and as always Lee tackles an issue ofte talked about in a modern light, in a historical context instead. The Montague Sibling Series is probably among the most unique books I have ever read and I am glad I got to finish it by reading about the reunion of the siblings however I found the plot line in this book to be somewhat anticlimactic which I think there was more of a character focus which I enjoyed but not what I was expecting after the first two novels having such thick and rich plotlines. This one was my least favourite of the series but I also need to take into consideration I am a few years older compared to when I read the first two and perhaps have exited the target demographic. All that being said I still love the series as a whole and always recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, action packed, funny but also emotional, well rounded series.
