Beautiful depiction of mental illness amidst an adventurous romp. 

This chaotic family has a special place in my heart

Weirdly relatable

I've loved this series since the beginning. Adrian's anxiety was so well written and something I deeply related to. Loved seeing the other Montague siblings and getting a full arc!

Such a beautiful and at times heartbreaking portrayal of mental illness, living with it and through it. I miss the Montagues already.

This book is a warm hug. Read the full trilogy and let the Montague siblings live rent free in your head. This book deals really well with the generational trauma related to having family born mental illness. It also has a really good depiction of the trauma related to grief and sudden loss of a loved one. As someone who has grief and trauma as a large tenant in my life, this really hit home. That sounds like a bummer, but honestly it's really what gives this book it's punchy nature. It holds true to the rest of the series and is absolutely hysterical, fun and wild, as well as having real heart.
