loveletterenthusiast's review

i love loved the first 1/2-3/4 of this book but then it fell off a bit for me…i understand the author’s intentions (in fact they were spelled out explicitly on the page) but it all got a bit too overly didactic for me…for a book that says it aligns itself with unknowing there was certainly a lot of explicit knowing in those last couple pages. also i have never been fond of the sort of “wrap-up” epilogue here’s where they are now technique used . i wanted more resolution to the whole mystery aspect and also the whole ghost thing was really quite boring. okay this is all sounding a bit mean i did genuinely really enjoy most of the book margaret was a painfully relatable character. and is not that the end was bad per se. it just felt wildly out of place and clumsily executed
