not my favorite read. book opens with some heavy material, which almost deterred me. i’m not a fan of the ending, if i’m being honest.

For the last week I have been engrossed by this book. I was incredibly in to every twist and turn, that is, up until the last chapter, when the author ended the book with my personal least favorite ending: one styled similar to The Giver in which it is heavily open for interpretation. There were sooo many loose ends in this book. It just felt like a major let down. Ending it even two chapters earlier would have made it so much better.
