I actually liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I picked it up at a charity shop on a whim, and it was a nice $2 spent. I don’t understand why a lot of people
feel sorry for Oscar. It was very obvious that both Laurie and Oscar were going in 2 complete different directions. By the end, they didn’t want the same things and they slpit, simple as that.

I am actually really conflicted with this rating. I feel like things might have been rushed, but at the same time the story wrapped up nicely.
I still stand by the “if your going to kill off a character, don’t bring them back” sentiment, but it was nice to see Tes again.
