happy ending
did happen
I was so disappointed last night as I read and finished my book. I let it stay with me for the day and just kept repeating - I can't believe. Then I let it rest for a bit. As we walked tonight my daughter and I started chatting about the book tonight and I saw something different. One character may not have had the ending I was hoping for and many others but an entire community had a happy ending. Books don't have to have happy endings, I think it's something readers come to expect. Having the happy ending not so obvious made me ponder, reflect, and think deeper to find what I was looking for.

By any chance is this "Allegiant"? This sounds so much exactly how I felt when I read that book. If not, tell me what it is so I stay far away! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYes, I read Allegiant.
DeleteSometimes when I'm unhappy with the ending, I have to sit back and think why did the author do that? Then maybe I can resolve the feeling, maybe not. Guessing you read Allegiant.
ReplyDeleteYes, I read Allegiant. I have to read them right before the viewing the movie so I can keep things fresh in my mind. I just learned the movie is just the first half.
DeleteEndings don't have to be happy for me to like them but they do have to make sense....and end the way I want. ;-)
