Really good book! I definitely enjoyed the ride, it's the first book in a while that actually made me laugh reading it, so thank you for that.

The ending was not satisfying to me in that I was hoping for a happily ever after or at least some resolution there. I think Greta was making progress in healing herself, which is important, and it was probably (at least I'm telling myself) heading in the happy ever after ending direction.

Despite the ending, I still really really enjoyed this book and still give it 5 stars.
