When you finish a book (or a series if it is part of one) and are left with more questions than answers, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes an ambiguous ending leaves you thinking about the possibilities long after you finished reading the last word.
For the case of this book, I though it was good. For how short it was it definitely built up the atmosphere and vibes quite well and the tension of what would come next was evident. However, I couldn't separate out the reality that women are constantly reassured that everything is fine, and even if something is wrong it can't be that bad. It made me so sad and frustrated.
