Is this book… good? Honestly from a “plot” perspective it’s probably not. It’s a little convoluted and relies a lot on internal conflict which was a lot. Neither Felicity nor Monty appear to have changed at all in the time skip - I know age is just a number but they are almost 40, acting like teenagers. 

That said? I mostly enjoyed this book, and it gives a nice ending for the siblings!

This was a really fun read, overall. Adrian's anxiety was a little too relatable at times, but I loved his development with positive self talk throughout the book. I loved the relationship between all three Montague siblings, and even though I was a bit disappointed that Louisa and Percy didn't get to come along for the ride, the focus on the trio allowed for more bonding and development of understanding between them. I'm not usually a fan of magical realism, but the magical realism in these books is handled really well and always enjoyable. 

Would recommend if you like books that are just as plot-driven as they are character-driven, historical fiction, adventure, books that make you care about every minor character, and books with LGBTQ+ characters where their identity isn't the focus of the book (like, at all).

Moderate: Suicidal thoughts

The main character struggles greatly with anxiety, and it is one of the main focuses of the book.

The main character's mother ends her own life, which is discussed at several points throughout the story.

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.

Goblin, the baby we met briefly in the first book. He's all grown up with terrible anxiety. And is about to take after his older siblings to go on an adventure. The mental health rep was so good and authentic. I also loved seeing the characters from the first two books older and, somewhat, wiser.
