I think my only critique was that I wanted more at the end! I think that the way it ended felt intentional and provided closure, but I did find myself wanting something more! Partly because I loved reading Vanessa's character and partly because I wanted to see her experience some of the emotional freedom she so deserved, maybe reclaim writing for herself. I think this would've taken another book or at least a time jump to do and I know trauma is not so cut and dry, so I can't even call my critique a critique haha. Just a want for more of this lovely story and complex character.
