possibly the best depiction of anxiety ive ever read. some of the lines were thoughts from my own head. the writing was also incredible. and i loved being with monty again <3 i would have loved to see percy and louisa’s reactions when they got back to london, but this was still pretty much perfect.

piperclover's review

I hate Monty in this. He has ruined this entire book for me and is the only reason I am dnf'ing.  I absolutely adore Adrian. His anxiety is so real and truly relatable and I like Louisa lot.  I just really really hate Monty. I was excited when I found out that Monty and Percy are part of this book, I was intrigued by the synopsis, and I enjoyed the setup but Monty is such an asshole that I cannot stand him. 

He's entirely unempathetic and has absolutely no decency whatsoever toward Adrian. I could understand being standoffish and hostile in the beginning when he didn't understand where Adrian was coming from and what Adrian knew and didn't know but as soon as the misunderstanding was cleared up he should have become more polite.  Instead he just continues to be outright cruel to Adrian and I will not ever find that redeemable. It has just straight up ruined any fondness and affection I had for Monty from his own book and I am sad for Adrian.

I thought the second book in this trilogy would remain my favourite, but this one topped it! Adrian's struggle with his mental health are so relatable and understandable, and make him probably my favourite Montague. I also loved Felicity and Monty in this, and think the time jump and the character growth was handled really well. Overall, an excellent book!
