I was so excited for this book. For some reason I just really thought I would love it. 
Terrible ending, SAD and also a little open-ended. I didn’t love the main character. I feel like there was no redemption for her behaviors until the last few pages. I hated the leading the reader on with a possible future and then it not being that at all and instead being terrible. And my favorite character died. I felt down-trodden after finishing this book. 
I feel like I put it in the time - invested - in these characters and there was no payout.
