Hard to explain, but here it goes. After finishing the book, I felt like I hadn't been satisfied with the ending. We have such build ups throughout the book that continuously hint at major conflict coming between the main characters, but when the "twist"/"they get busted for lying" comes to light, it felt...forced? Everything was so conveniently explained at the end (instead of within the story), but it just wasnt convincing for me.
