I will always love and EmHen book and this was no exception. I do find myself yearning for something more, though. The big plot reveal towards the end was wonderful, and leaving the story open-ended (somewhat) definitely gives us room to play with our imaginations. Maybe what bothers me is I was DYING for us to get a Hayden POV, or for us to learn literally anything about what he’d been hearing during interviews. I’m bummed that there was so much left unsaid, but appreciate the reason nonetheless. Wonderful book, I definitely cried at the depth of this relationship between sisters.
