... and it really did keep me guessing, but the ending wasn’t what I was hoping. I’m thinking that the end result may have been the authors intent (because I can see how going a different route would have yielded a lesser emotional impact/lesson etc.), but I was left feeling cheated. I have to say, though, that it was very well written and well paced; & though the plot dragged out to the very last page, I still feel as if I didn’t waste my time reading it. There was a certain relatable factor which kept me feeling as if I can understand the characters in such a way that they weren’t just characters but may just have been real people. I can see myself picking up another book by this author someday. Honestly, not a life altering read, but still entertaining enough :)
