This was a great ending to the duology.  I loved seeing how much the characters had changed between Tiny Pretty Things and this book, especially GiGi.  I also loved how much Bette was invested in figuring out what really happened to GiGi and who really did it.  The ending wasn't rushed, and each character's arc along with the whole story was wrapped up very nicely.
