"There will be days it is loud, and others it is heavy. For every summer solstice, there is darkness on the other side of the world. There will be days that staying alive will be an all-consuming challenge, and accepting love an act of tremendous courage, asking for help even more so. Days of loneliness and doubt will compound, and maybe there will be whole months when I cannot see the sky, and all the perspective I have now is lost in the crush. There will be peaks and dales, rivers and roads. But I will do my best to keep walking out of the darkness. I will let it all happen to me: beauty and terror and love and hate and ugliness and anger and fear. I know that no feeling is final, and that fear only wins when I stop fighting."

This book is so much fun that it feels indecent. Nothing soothes the soul quite like another Montague sibling escapade, and Mackenzi Lee hits the ground running with The Nobleman’s Guide To Scandal and Shipwrecks. Remarkably daring, effortlessly entertaining, and sweepingly nostalgic — it’s no wonder I devoured this so quickly.

I'm just so sad this series is over. I suspect I will reread all of the books many, many times. Thank you, Mackenzi Lee, for these real, lovable, relatable characters who have amazing adventures, fight for themselves, and learn to love.

I reread this book and it was just as amazing as it was the first time everything moved along at an great pace nothing was too slow either there was so much that was so great about this story. The characters were all so great but I liked Adrian, Monty and Felicity the most they end up having a great sibling dynamic by the end. I love how the story doesn't just make the issues the characters have the only thing about them. Monty and his insecurities and alcoholism also Adrian and how his brain works different from others it is all handled well. I also love the side characters like Louisa and her want for many a good thing to happen and her want for change. The plot is really interesting it starts with Adrian looking for something his mother left behind he ends up finding so much more how he doesn't have to be like everyone else and he has more family in the world. The story was amazing it wrapped up every loose end very well.

bro this book was so good???? like one of the best depictions of anxiety i've ever read and just big hearted and lovely and sharp.
