The first book of the year and it's really trying to set the bar for the others to follow. What an absolutely wonderful end to a fantastic series.

Everything about this was so lovely and warm and real. All the familiar faces and references and my undying love for the Montague siblings. I just wanted to squish them all and make sure they were all okay.

I am a hard proponent of first-person POV being eradicated from my sight but Mackenzi Lee is the absolute exception to this rule. Being in Adrian's head was so well done. I felt his anxiety in the pit of my stomach the entire time. Her writing style is so incredible, Monty and Felicity and Adrian are all similar but different and it's so lovely to have had the chance to be inside each of their heads.

This was really just a warm hug of a book that also left me on the edge of my seat.

I highly recommend everyone read this series - mostly, for the joy that is Monty and then again getting to experience him trying to be a big brother at 39 years old. The humour is incredible and the scene-setting is so well done I always truly feel like I'm right inside the story.

An excellent start to 2022!

I love this book and this series. I felt like this was a very good depiction of obsessive disorders and you KNOW I love Monty and Felicity.
