I started listening to this on audiobook but I hardly ever drive anymore and I wanted to finish it, so I switched to regular book. It was confusing at times, especially when listening. I am confused by the author's choice for the ending.

Spoiler

Its no secret that this book is based on Margaret Mead's love triangle, which I read quite a bit about on Wikipeadia. and not just loosely based but super based. Like to the point that Bankson's brothers have the real names (and fates) of their real-name counterparts. Yet, instead of Nell and Bankson getting married, as actually happened, she has crazy psycho Fen kill her on the boat. I just don't understand the point of the revision.
