It was also inconclusive whether Vanessa's family-in-law would escape justice or if they will have what they deserved.
On the topic of Barry and Vanessa, it felt like they were meant to be together; they always kept feelings for each other. However Barry did hurt Vanessa when they were younger, and there should have been some kind of penance from him. How easy was it to go back to that relationship?

It feels not logical at all: why Vanessa returns to Barry, even after promising herself not to be again with him? The ending leaves so many questions in the air, that it is truly jarring to me. It was another nail in the coffin for this book: the end needed more development to be truly shocking and conclusive. It's like the book needed more chapters to truly close the story.

I loved the ending of the book. Vanessa and Barry experienced twists and turns in their lives that kept them apart for many years. It was nice to see them back together in the end of the book.
