It was so so close to becoming a 5 star read for me.. However, the ending felt rushed and I do enjoy the romance of course, I would like to know a little more... Or have it be a little more open ended

Such a cynical book but addictive. Perhaps it's just more honest and real than most literature? Wasn't particularly happy with the ending but I won't spoil that for you.

I can’t BELIEVE it took me so long to finish this book. I started it at a time when I wasn’t ready to listen. Now the final page made me LITERALLY clutch my chest. Phenomenal
