I think this book just left me feeling conflicted and confused. I’m not sure if that was the intention, but it’s made me feel uneasy, in a way, about relationships. The ending felt a little empty to me, but I’ve never been a fan of open endings like this. I so didn’t like Bobbie either, couldn’t stand her really :( but I won’t deny that I couldn’t put the book down, finished it in about three hours ish, couldn’t tear myself away from it!

After reading three Rooney books, I find all of her characters to be far too similar for my liking. I’m also sick of reading of how they’re so thin and sickly looking. It gets tiring.
