I loved it

Sure it was somewhat cliche and ya but it is marketed as such and that's what I wanted to read right now.

4.5 stars. The beginning was intentionally confusing and im still on the fence about that because the foreshadowing was there to help you. However, i adore the story and characters. It was refreshing to read a YA book where parents were allies and set loving boundaries, but also exhibited so much acceptance and love to them. Pure joy with a sides of serious themes, but you wouldnt realize that because of the situational comedy. As a person with ADHD, i love how over the top Nick is and how his family and friends love him and not despite of it. Particularly memorable #adhdisasuperpower

And Chapter 10. That was one of the most awkward and helpful and hilarious moments in the series. Thank you Klune for helping me as I parent a teen boy.

Painful at times and I learned things I never wanted to know but a great finale to the series. And the dad squad and all of the dynamucs between different characters were adorable, especially Nick and his dad.
And Burrito Jerry is an absolute icon.

And ending with a wedding... so cute.

It is exactly what you’d want to end a triology. So many laugh-out-loud moments, tears, and smiles. I can’t wait to read this again!
