Your review reflects mine completely. The ending although killing is still amazing.

Really, it would have been unrealistic for Day to wake up and he and June would pick up and begin their happily ever after as if they do not in fact have all of this grief and guilt baggage between them about her role in his family's destruction. And for her to tell him right there who she is and remind him of everything that happened, well, while he deserves to know the truth about everything and know all about what happened in his life, how awful would it have been for June to deliver those painful memories back to him like that? No, this ending was better.LiveToBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997161677471183910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622073970993395238.post-83640015032305730132013-11-12T17:35:40.307+01:002013-11-12T17:35:40.307+01:00You know that I have mixed thoughts about the endi...You know that I have mixed thoughts about the ending too! I keep wondering if I would have been happier if less time had passed? Ten years is a LONG time. Too long for comfort. :( But I agree that it's nice that it is sort of hopeful too... so I'm still quite conflicted. Overall though, I think this will be getting the same rating from me, as I loved the majority of it.
