I read this for the first time in 2022. I really enjoyed it and read it in one day. I decided to reread it, this time taking just over a week. My rating hasn't changed. I loved this book. I loved Monty and Percy and Felicity. It was so good. I listened to the audiobook and really liked it.

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.

When Percy and Monty are at the festival and Monty is super drunk, I got so angry! Percy asked him about running away together. Monty loved Percy and I think at this point, he knew he wanted Percy more than he wanted anything else. But I think he was scared and very drunk. I was so sad when he said all the wrong things to Percy. I was sad for Percy having to hear all the wrong things. I was sad for Monty knowing he said the wrong things, but not knowing how to fix it. I just wanted them to be happy.

For being almost 450 pages, it really felt like a light summer read. Characters you almost love to hate while still rooting for their development, the universal hatred of being chaperoned, and the slowest slow burn to ever burn because these idiots can't communicate. Can't wait to get my hands on the sequels.
