I think I have complicated feelings about this one. There are absolutely parts of the book I adored and am grateful for. There's a chunk where Pepper sits in her grief and it is beautiful and a great reminder for me in the moment I'm having in my personal life. I needed that representation. But I also didn't super duper believe in these two people as a couple. All I saw was a ton of reasons they shouldn't work, but I didn't feel like we got enough reasons they SHOULD work together. Individually, I really liked each character and was happy for their growth and personal journies, but I'm not sold on them as a happily ever after.
