There were times when, along with Percy and Felicity, I got really annoyed or even angry with Monty. But I think that was the point. Monty is a flawed character and throughout the book he grows and develops. I think it's actually cool that the author took the risk of starting out with a main character that I didn't actually like as a person. I thought he was funny and I felt empathy for him. But I thought he was a brat. I think a lot of books choose to introduce their characters with more palatable flaws out of fear that the reader won't like them. But the author was able to blend his charisma and flaws together. He was fun to read about, despite his flaws and I was constantly cheering for him to grow. Overall, I would highly recommend this book, as well as the audiobook.

It was messy and infuriating, especially Monty, but I couldn’t help myself and love it. I want Percy as my friend and marry Felicity. I’m fascinated by the fact that this book made me care for Monty even though he was so annoying. If it wasn’t for the fact that I could read his more or less decent thoughts I probably wouldn’t. How Percy can love him is a mystery and yet I’ve been rooting for them all the way through, even if they’re the biggest idiots alive.
