Wish there was a little more mystery earlier in the book other than her being strange and not going out, and I know the ending is meant to be vague but it still annoyed me a bit because I was very confused. I did enjoy reading it though and I liked how you saw the life of this woman through the townspeople’s eyes who don’t know much about her.
