As we cross the threshold, I let slip my resolution for a single second and, like Lott’s wife turned to salt, glance over my shoulder to see if I can spot Percy. He’s right where he was before—on the fringes of the dance floor, but alone now, and looking at me in a way that suggests he’s been doing it for a while.

8/10. I wasn't exactly swooning over this book but I did really enjoy it. I like the ending message that we would all be happier if we accepted our own and others' flaws. Monty had to learn to love himself. Felicity was a firecracker. Percy was a gracious love interest. I enjoyed the realistic sibling relationship. I also enjoyed the more tender moments. I'm not a fan of ambiguous endings but I understand why this book needed to have one.

Wasn't super into it in the first half, but the second half really had me. My only main concern is the random and sudden vivid descriptions of suicide ideation and self-harm which were off-putting and honestly unnecessary.
