I started reading and couldn’t get into it. I think the timing was bad. I had planned to try again later.

about the ending– i read it a while ago, so i don’t remember specifics, but i seem to remember feeling that the book ended on a positive note. some of the main character’s issues were resolved and he seemed hopeful about the future.
