I LOVE Klune's books, and this one didn't disappoint! I laughed, I cried, and I loved the journey. I love Nick and relate to him in a lot of ways since I'm neurodiverse and have a very little filter, LOL. The beginning of the book was a bit rough and confusing, but it definitely made sense later and added to the story. Overall a great and funny book!

Two words - Burrito. Jerry. 

Overall, a satisfying conclusion to the series and my favourite book of the three. 

It started quite confusingly and I thought I had missed something important linked to what was revealed in the epilogue of book two, but once that got sorted out things flowed a bit better with the narrative. 

Nick showed a lot of growth and I appreciated how his arc was handled, especially with his ADHD (though I guess not all that surprising considering TJ’s own experiences). I loved how his relationship with Seth was further solidified and you can really grasp their love for one another. 

A bit of a deus ex machina ending, but it was cute so I won’t complain too much 😉
