I really enjoyed reading this book, though I was left unfulfilled by the ending. It felt like it just stopped abruptly right as characters barely began to connect and heal and I just wanted to sit with them a little longer.

I was very dissatisfied by the end of this book. When it ended, I literally said out loud, "this can't be the end." It just felt...unfinished to me. There were so many unanswered questions, and it just didn't end in a place that I felt did the rest of the story justice.
