Despite being told that the ending of this book might be disappointing, I liked the ending better than the rest of the book. I had a hard time getting into the story because all the plot was so random and off-the-wall and just trying so hard. I like my books a little more earnest and a little less ridiculous. Bernadette had major mental health issues that were being described in a super-flip way, and everyone else in her life seemed oblivious despite all her crazy-making. Fast-forward to the end and it felt like nearly everyone managed to redeem themselves. The tone of the book was more serious, and I started enjoying myself more.
