I adored this book, the slow burn of getting to know the main character and the laugh-out-loud moments were delightful. That said I found the ending to be wildly out-of-the-blue and it really bummed me out. Could’ve thought of 800 other ways to end the book, or quite possibly it came to a close too abruptly for the ending to properly hit. Either way, I’m sad it’s over and sad with how it ended.
