The ending was absolutely not satisfying - not for the most obvious reason (I can definitely respect and appreciate that), but because it really didn't fit the rest of the plot. The story simply gets interrupted and yanked back into "real life", I guess.
I wanted to like this book so much and now I'm just sad and disappointed, like I've fallen for a ruse.

The author handles this content sensitively, and pretty much none of the content warnings listed above happen in real time. Nearly all of them are flashbacks. The content warning is serious only because of the reflective nature of the book; the events will make you reflect on them and that could prove harmful for some folks.
