I highly enjoyed listening to the third and final book in the Montague Siblings trilogy!

Not having known what to expect of this book, with Adrian being essentially a new character, I was pleasantly surprised to totally fall in love with him! I adored Adrian and really appreciated seeing his struggle with mental illness in the context of his setting. This book made for a satisfying end to the series!

(A bit more specific below)

It was wonderful to reunite with Monty and Felicity- and hard having to meet them though Adrian: I think Lee did a great job of creating tension between the characters and having them slowly open up to Adrian.

The portrayal of Adrian’s mental illness was vivid and visceral and also very believable and relatable. His adventure was captivating and emotional, as was his journey toward self-acceptance. 

I also really appreciated getting a closing on our original couple from book 1 ☺️.

I have highly enjoyed this series and look forward to a reread!
