5.0

This was the exact book I needed at this time in my life. While my own issues are quite different from Adrian, I still feel so seen by reading a book with a protagonist who deals with mental health issues. And they are still capable and loved and learn and grow.

Like in the other books in this series, neither character development nor story line are sacrificed for the sake of the other. Lee writes both with equal skill.

I highly recommend this series as a whole and dearly loved this one. Though, after finishing [b:The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue|29283884|The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue (Montague Siblings, #1)|Mackenzi Lee|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1492601464l/29283884._SY75_.jpg|49527118], I couldn't have imagined liking another book in this series more. But I just might love this one most.
