What a trek for such a weak ending. It was a perfectly good book, the ending was just so disappointing. I wish I hadn't bothered to read this book because now I'm annoyed. It was so deeply unsatisfying.
Spoiler for the ending:
Why wouldn't she go to America? Her job can *specifically, as spelt out by her boss,* be done from anywhere. She can still go back to visit her family, she hasn't lived in Nottingham for years. Her excuse is so weak - she's finally found someone who treats her well and she loves and is just like 'yeah ... nah'. She's not being strong or true to herself, she's self-sabotaging and cowardly.
