One of the best endings for a book I've read in a while. Heartbreaking and heartfelt at the same time. Reading this felt like a wild fever dream but I enjoyed every second 🥹

"She stands looking across the gulf of cold air between this side and that, hands in her pockets, thinking she could create worlds. Billy gave her that chance. She is here. She is found."

I truly enjoyed this book. This was my first Stephen King book and I loved it. I admire how King writes and how he describes his characters/events etc. I grew to love the characters in this book, especially Billy and Alice. This was one of those books where you feel like you are the main character going through all the events of the book. My ONLY critique is that, in my opinion, I felt that the beginning was a little slow.  I was a little skeptical that I would get bored with the parts of the book that was “Billy’s book” but I liked it and I liked how King incorporated Billy’s past as it showed how he became the way he was. I would totally reread this and I recommend it to everyone.
