A satisfying enough conclusion to the trilogy. Lots of cliches. A foiled but comedic enough ending. And as was the case in the prior two books, my favorite character is Aaron - possibly the most honest and most adorably funny father ever written.

THIS SERIES IS EVERYTHING.
Nick is, hands down, one of my favorite YA protagonists to ever be written. His awkwardness and dorkiness and authentic messiness are so endearing. His is the perfect definition of "second-hand-embarrassment" and it is so wonderful to see a queer protagonist with ADHD as a superhero.
This series is FUN. Seeing it wonderfully wrapped up with a cinematic masterpiece of an ending that involved DAD SUPERHEROS brought me so much joy. I could have done without the "credit scene" epilogue, but I wasn't bothered by it. It is a heartfelt series with brilliant fight scenes, fantastic father-son relationships with open conversations about sex, and friendship goals.
I would also read an entire mini series about Burrito Jerry.
I will be unabashedly recommending this to every library patron I come in contact with and raving about it on bookstagram until the cows come home.
Thank you Netgalley and Tor Teen for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
