Wow. Just...wow. I'm so unsatisfied by this ending and yet I love the ending at the same time--I honestly don't know how to feel. On one hand, after the steamy scene with Edward (which by the way was amazing), the goodbye was just so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Then being pulled away, that just shattered my entire heart because although I didn't realize it during the previous chapters, I grew really attached to Edward. Hearing about Payne's life (he's my MC) was cool, and the hints about coming back into the past and his love life was really cute imo. So the open ending where it's pretty clear you and Robert return to the past, I loved it--afterwards, I literally sat and stared at my screen. But on the OTHER hand, I am livid that PB would make this a standalone because literally EVERY single one of their currently running books (not counting Open Heart because it's on hiatus) suck or are painfully mediocre (AND GENDERLOCKED.) I agree that the ending was extremely rushed and you could say it's unsatisfying. My heart aches for another book, but since I know we're not getting one, now I can focus my energy on being angry at PB. But hey, BOLAS has a book 2 coming and apparently the mystery one is gender of choice, so at least I have more to look forward to!
