I was so frustrated with these characters, but invested in seeing how they come out on the other side. Much like an episode of Three's Company, a LOT could have been solved if people just talked to each other, but that's why the interloper insists on secrecy. The ending was super disappointing. It felt truncated and rushed. After hours of learning the intricacies of their lives, we get a once sentence wrap up per person. I wish it would have been as well thought out as the book itself. All the twists/coincidences weren't completely believable (nor people's reactions to them), but a more robust conclusion could have made it less noticeable. Prepare to spend the entire book yelling at the main characters.
