My Review:
I bear some responsibility for absolutely despising the ending to this book had I read its description more carefully but I stand by my opinion that the ending was still abrupt rather than poignant. I muddled through this book and didn't really care for any of it so you can forgive me for being put over the edge when the ending was just so !!!!!. Hope you have more luck!
Josie stood in the doorway of her flat, under the mistletoe that Bia had insisted they hang "just in case" and started mutely at the box Oliver was clutching.
