"I don't care for books without a resolution. I was invested in the characters, really interested in their lives. Then, suddenly, the book was over. No ending, just everything left up in the air.<br/><br/>I know some people like slice-of-life books, but I don't. I don't think I'll read any more of Binchy's books. Which is a shame, because she was so skilled at world and character building."
