This is such a difficult book to rate. It was an amazing and impactful story and I absolutely loved reading it. But it didn't have the ending I wanted. I think that makes a lot of sense, given the story, but I still really wanted a happy ending. I also wish there would have been one more chapter from Sadie's POV, because I really want to know what happened between her and Keith and the end. The current ending fits the story really well though and I should have seen it coming.
