[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)
