Two words - Burrito. Jerry.
Overall, a satisfying conclusion to the series and my favourite book of the three.
It started quite confusingly and I thought I had missed something important linked to what was revealed in the epilogue of book two, but once that got sorted out things flowed a bit better with the narrative.
Nick showed a lot of growth and I appreciated how his arc was handled, especially with his ADHD (though I guess not all that surprising considering TJ’s own experiences). I loved how his relationship with Seth was further solidified and you can really grasp their love for one another.
A bit of a deus ex machina ending, but it was cute so I won’t complain too much 😉
