I was a little disappointed in the ending, too. I’m not sure why because it was an okay ending.
There is some (moderate) bad language in the book.

pacing felt a little slow in a couple of places but that was part of the charm.
loved the mix of depicting the time periods racism, lily dealing with the loss of her mother, the goings on with August, may and June, and the beautiful descriptions of them and the surroundings and the bees.
