We Now Return to Regular Life by Martin Wilson
3.0
I feel like I'm having a really hard time with endings lately. I don't mind a conclusion that doesn't wrap up everything nicely, or one that's bittersweet. What I do mind is an ending that's unsatisfying, one that leaves character arcs hanging or happens too quickly. I think that's my big problem here.
The rest of the book was really good, exploring the aftermath of a kidnapping victim's return home on his family and friends. I enjoyed both of our PoV characters equally and found their different struggles with Sam's return home. I found Josh's conclusion to be less satisfying as there's still a lot left unsaid and his relationships with Sam and his friend Nick ended in weird places for me.
I liked the book, I'd probably say it's a 3.5 star kind of a deal. I was just annoyed with the ending.
