I've enjoyed all of the other books in this series, so it's no surprise that I liked this one as well. It's not hard to follow the chapters, even though they bounce between a bunch of different character's POV. The only thing I don't really care for is how many chapters have a minor cliffhanger. It's just unnecessary to have that many! It got to the point of being irritating. However, it was a good conclusion to the Mr. Terupt series. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

[I received an electronic review copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.]
4.5 stars - Loved it! Would re-read.
This was a DELIGHTFUL wrap up of this terrific series. It has been literally years since I read the first three books in the series, but it was easy to step back into these characters and these relationships. I think newcomers could start here, but some of the magic won't be there because of a lack of history with the characters. If you can, read these in order.
There's a lot going on here - most of the kids are dealing with issues in their personal lives, the couples in the group have their ups and downs, and then they are all dealing with Mr. Terupt's news and the impact of that. Middle school issues - dating, health, friendships, break ups, a potential eating disorder, sports, etc. - might appeal more to the kids at the upper end of the middle grade range. There were several hilarious moments and even more that left me in tears. For me this was the perfect send off for these characters. Fans of this series should not miss this last hurrah with these characters. Newcomers should check out the whole series - it's fantastic! (TW: Eating disorder, cancer in remission)

Wait wait wait, there's a FOURTH?!
*bursts into hysterical happy tears*
I'm so excited!! To read this!!!!
Please!!! Library!!! Please have it!!!
I thought the series was just going to be a trilogy, and its such a nice surprise that there's another one!
*eeeeeeeeee!!*
I agree with the other people who are writing in their reviews that the title is making them nervous...
(is it possible to be extremely over the moon happy and biting your tongue off nervous at the same time?)

a sweet, heartwarming book perfect for a rainy day (disclaimer: HEAVY on the foreshadowing, but it's kind of endearing)
I absolutely love this book! I got it off of Amazon and read it all in one sitting! It is a great story for kids, but I think anyone would enjoy reading it. The ending is kind of sad, and I wish I could find out more about what happens to the characters, but it does finish on a pretty good note. This book is probably my favorite out of the Mr. Terupt series.
