The ending was exactly what I expected. Although I kept wishing for something more brave all through the book, it was fitting in the end.
I would have liked to meet more of the other people who jump in and out of lives and hear their takes on existence.
All in all it wasn't so much uplifting as it made me long for other versions of my life, in which I made different decisions, so I guess it didn't quite fulfil its purpose on me.
