Colm really strung me along considering that ending! I will say I cared about what happened to the characters, while also knowing they weren't altogether nice people and recognizing that there's "shade" to this author's prose...  WILL THERE BE A THIRD?

It's not the best sequel after Brooklyn's wholesome ending. In my fantasy, Eilis and Tony have a perfect marriage :/
