I listened to the audiobook in one sitting, which was both a brilliant and horrible idea, as I now have too many emotions fighting inside of me and the urge to stop everything I'm doing and cry:) Tahereh Mafi will never let me live in peace, I must know pain and suffering

I find this book ended really abruptly, looks like they cut out ten chapters at the end. No resolution whatsoever.

  she jumps in the pool, ALI saves her, and then she says she never loved him, WHAT WAS HIS REACTION? WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? I'm so confused.
