The End of Loneliness

Precise rating: 2.5 ⭐

This book annoys the heck out of me! It wasn't boring even once. I got through it very smoothly.

And at the same time, I didn't really care a lot about any of the characters. The story felt chaotic and uncertain. As if Wells didn't see the golden thread himself. There was a proper ending, but the way there seemed very rocky.

I also don't like Wells' writing style. It was fluctuating a lot between beautiful and diary entry that wasn't meant to be published.

Urgh, but it's still hard to give it only 2.5 stars!

The family dynamic of three siblings torn apart by the death of their parents, a very angsty love story, and how you deal with loss and loneliness. It's a tender story and an easy-to-read book, but I feel it also pretends to be more than it truly is. Somehow all the early childhood stories too neatly come full-circle by being mentioned again at the end. And the narrator's voice - or the author in general - sounds too young for the age of the protagonist.
