A review by maebhhowell
Sure of You by Armistead Maupin
5.0
Satisfying ending to the series (or at least the main six books) and Maupin's mix of sentimentality and retrospectivity made me look back at the events of the first few books as if I was one of the characters themselves.
My love for Michael and Brian only grew, and I was glad that Mona made an appearance, although I thought Anna Madrigal had lost some of her air of mystique/magic.
Burke's reappearance was a good way to introduce the sense of nostalgia mentioned earlier; the reminiscing about the past was really effective in drawing the series to a close.
Mary Ann on the other hand became a complete and utter BITCH. She has always slightly irked me as a character, in her prissiness and selfishness, and it surprises me that Micheal etc. have stayed friends with her for so long. However, whilst I utterly hated her character, it was done in such a way that was believable and it worked well with the narrative, and I hope that after this book she stays in New York and never comes back.
