i was a little disappointed by the ending honestly. i think that may be the point of the book though. it wasn’t the satisfying end that i had hoped for because no one that actually deserved it got punished? it felt a bit like… silly for it to just have been some horrible accident. i know that’s how things go in real life, but i’m still annoyed about matt’s involvement i think the author did a great job capturing the reality of life and the entertainment of the court cases. i felt like maybe it was too long. i started feeling like impatient for the resolution instead of anticipating the end with all its reveals. i read it in two days though, good book.
