I'm not sure it's fair to give this book such a low rating because most of it is about me disliking ambiguous endings. But to me a 3 star book is okay, not something that upset me. And there are ambiguous endings... and then there is this ending. It was hard to believe this was a standalone.
I guess it's very clever that the ending echoes the podcast and the idea of not knowing what the rest of your life would be. But come on, there was an active fight going on at the end of the book, with major side characters possibly dead. We don't really get any explanation to what happened in the past either, or even a conversation between the two families where they get to discuss their versions of history and promise not to try to kill each other's kids? It's hard to believe the (admittedly very cute) relationships will survive all this drama, which kinda leaves us with nothing.
