Wow this did not have a happy ending. At all. I really wanted it to. This book was so good and had such an original premise, I was definitely hooked immediately and tore through it.

Re-Read: Holy fucking shit I love this book. The ending fucked me up all over again, but in a different way because I knew what was coming.

the part at the end where she describes the end of winter in Minnesota had me on the brink of tears. We don't know it's heaven. Fuck. And of course the whole premise is so much creepier given the current state of women's bodily autonomy in the US. Fuuuuuck
