Like the first two books in the series, this one takes a bit to really get going, but once it does, it moves quickly.

Ultimately, it ended up being my favorite of the series. It gives great insight into what it is like to live with severe anxiety, and it portrays this without falling into the far-too-frequent narrative of anxiety being a disease that must be cured. I came away from the book understanding anxiety in a way that I had previously struggled to do, and that understanding has helped me better support those in my life with anxiety.

This book felt like a therapy session, as secondary characters variably helped Adrian navigate his anxiety and OCD. It may be difficult to read, but I think was handled sensitively and beautifully. It may be my favorite of the stories in the series.

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.

Set in 18th century Europe, so the sexism, homophobia, racism and shitty take on mental health are to be expected. No on page suicide attempt, someone else recounts theirs, years ago.
