So....did the author run out of ideas on the last page and decide to send the manuscript to the publisher anyway? Because I was all ready to give this book five stars until the ending, or lack thereof. The story was well-plotted, the characters were fairly likable and I thought that the way the book switches back and forth between time periods was nicely executed, but...there was absolutely no resolution!!! Generally I really enjoy Brashares' books, but this one was frustrating. A good story, if you can get past the non-ending.
