I enjoyed this book but wish it was more fleshed out. I thought that the premise and Fiona were really interesting. And I thought it started to tackle some tough issues well. But, while I understand the decision to end the book where it ended, I wish there had been some more closure. Even an epilogue would have been nice. It was just a bit jarring to realize that something that has been building the whole book and that the reader definitely wants to see is only going to end up being strongly implied.
