This book was such a good representation of anxiety disorders it brought me to tears at multiple points. It was like I found myself on the pages. And besides that it’s just as thrilling, funny and full of adventures as the other two books. A worthy closure of the trilogy!

Lovely to see the siblings as well as them all together. Adrian is lovely and Louisa was a fave within pages.

Delightful. Much like Monty, I was ready to dislike Adrian but I'm 100% team Gremlin now. I love how the book dealth with a heavy subject in a thoughtful way that also aligned with the message that you are not your condition/illness. The ending was perfect, I wouldn't have it any other way for this series.

I've loved every book in this series and this is no exception.

Even though I have a special place in my heart for Monty and Felicity, I can't help but agree with Monty that Adrian might be the best of all of them for me personally, simply because I relate to him so, so much.

As someone who has battled clinical anxiety disorders my entire life, the descriptions of the way Adrian's mind works are painfully familiar to me and I just want to wrap this poor boy up and help him so he doesn't have to go through what I'm used to going through inside my own mind.

I loved seeing Monty, Felicity, Percy, Sim, and George all at different points in their lives than when we last left them, and going into the future with so much hope and with each other. I love Adrian and Louisa both as individual characters and as a couple, and even though I know this is the final book in the trilogy I would selfishly love to see more of those two in a little bonus adventure like we got for Monty and Percy.

This was such a good end to a truly amazing series. I recommend these books to friends, family, and readers at my library all the time, and now I can safely recommend this last title with just as much enthusiasm.

Bravo, Mackenzi Lee.

Unhelpful review: I'm so sad this series that wasn't suppose to be a series is over. It has been great to get to know these wonderfully flawed characters.

A great end to the series! I enjoyed seeing Monty and Felicity later in their lives, as well as how differently all three were affect by their childhood.

Readers join the Montague siblings for one last adventure. We follow Adrian, the youngest as he searches for the other half of an object his mother inherited took possession of years prior. Adrian has an anxiety disorder/OCD. He believes his family is cursed. With the help of his older brother Monty and his older sister Felicity, he goes on an a journey to see if that’s indeed true.
