so I refer to 2019 Hannah to truly explain what it feels like to read this book, bc she actually nailed it

But to get with the times: a tiny, interesting thing I loved about this read is that....we don't get the ending. the story is here for a brief window of time in Dinnie's life, it tells what is has to tell & teaches what it hast to teach, and then it passes on. Numerous characters are left with their plot threads dangling off the edge. We don't know how it ends, how Dinnie grows up, if she gets back to Switzerland, what EVEN is going on with Lila...etc etc.

And though I am sad--deeply saddened by a lot of things (broken relationships with parents, friends)--I am satisfied. I don't need to know more. I heard the message, watched Dinnie struggle, & both the story & I seem to feel that it has done it's duty. I feel privileged--to have seen and participated in this sliver of Dinnie.

"Thank you, thank you. Now quick! Go! To show the story & to tell the tale! To someone else. Farewell."

Yes, I wish Dinnie well. Now: off. To the celebration of being alive. 📚🧡
