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

An incredible ending to a well-written trilogy. Lee has put everything into this book, and I couldn't put it down for more than a few minutes before the urge to continue reading took over. It's been a long time since I read something that enveloped me so entirely. This was a fantastic read, and I want to experience the trilogy all over again. There are so many flags in this copy I have, so many passages that spoke to me personally or left me breathless. I love Adrian, and my adoration for Monty and Felicity have only grown. I can't wait to reread this and the first two books again. So well done. I can't recommend this series to my friends enough. So, so lovely. I closed the cover feeling nothing but love.
