Anger

Book started out good and for the most part was a good read. I think it was a bit ‘easy’ and maybe not realistic for the real world but then the ending ….. ruined the whole book for me. I am livid at the ending and how the author thinks this was away to wrap the whole story up …. I don’t know if she is hoping to write a sequel or what but the ending for lack of a better word sucked in my opinion. I’m almost worried and regretting the fact I downloaded another of her books halfway through this book if this is how she ends stories. I really hope I’m wrong in this respect cause I feel like I wasted my money on this book all it did was put me in a bad mood and make me angry. I just keep reminding myself it’s only a story but the sad truth remains people like Mo are out there and are literally living their lives just like this character and I guess that’s why this ending made me so upset and angry. Let the punishment fit the crime people. So disappointed!
