The Downstairs Girl by Stacey Lee
3.0

I enjoyed this book but I found the ending disappointing. Within the last fourth of the book, everything began to wrap up too easily which made the finally pages too predictable and unrealistic. Despite the ease, I still felt like Jo deserved her feel-good ending. I would’ve liked to see more of the other characters, particularly Nathan. I wanted to know more about him and his interests in Jo. Although they can’t legally be together, feeding into the delusion of their happily ever after just a little more wouldn’t have hurt. I found their few scenes together to be really cute.
