Really cute ending to a series that focuses on a character who suffers from anxiety and depression

just like the other two books the ailments that the main characters have, that others may view as being wrong with you, are not fixed at the end. Instead Adrian is able to learn to love himself despite of the things that may hurt

you find out, though it is hinted at, that Caroline Montague most likely committed suicide, Monty self diagnoses himself as an alcoholic and falls off the boat after things go south, Monty also breaks his leg and felicity has to fix it, and at the end of the book Adrien looses a few fingers and toes

I was scared to read this because I love Gentleman's and Lady's so much but this was beautiful and is probably now my favourite

I cannot recommend this highly enough. I’m obsessed with books that are shameless in their representation, books where the characters are queer and disabled and Black and there’s no apology for the absolute cornucopia of human diversity. Adrian is a character I relate to very very deeply and many points of this book were hard to read but dear God it was worth it. Lee is a master of life after survival stories, and I am incredibly jealous of her talent.

The degree to which I identify with Adrian is slightly worrying to say the least
