Woof. A 3.75 because it bummed me out so badly, but I did read it really quickly.

I really REALLY enjoyed this book and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it for days.
I found the ending to be quite unsatisfying but not in a bad way if that makes sense? The author was very intentional with how they ended it and it makes perfect sense for the story but at the same time I wanted more!! I was just so engrossed with the lives and story of each character I didn’t want a vague ending — but that is just me being greedy as a reader and not a short coming of the writing.
I don’t know that this book will be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think the people it’s meant for, it will leave them reeling and with a massive book hang over the way it left me.
