I loved this book so much until the last page. I kept putting it off because I didn't want it to end. And now I wish I hadn't finished it. Such a disappointing ending. It's not that it wasn't the ending I wanted, I get that not everything has the ending you want. It just seemed so unfinished. There was no resolution...to anything.
