This might be my favorite of the series. I didnt expect the third book to be such a time skip to Adrian but honestly it provides a lovely view into how the characters I previously fell in love with continued in their lives. Though I wish there was ten more books spanning the time skip. Adrian’s experience with mental illness is explored in detail and how it affects him on their daring adventure. At times the descriptions were very intense and I had to put down the book because it was too close to home, but overall it was a fantastic portrayal of anxiety disorders and OCD. I am so proud of Adrian and I really enjoyed watching him develop in this book.

Really cute ending to a series that focuses on a character who suffers from anxiety and depression

just like the other two books the ailments that the main characters have, that others may view as being wrong with you, are not fixed at the end. Instead Adrian is able to learn to love himself despite of the things that may hurt

you find out, though it is hinted at, that Caroline Montague most likely committed suicide, Monty self diagnoses himself as an alcoholic and falls off the boat after things go south, Monty also breaks his leg and felicity has to fix it, and at the end of the book Adrien looses a few fingers and toes
