Losing Clementine by Ashley Ream
3.0
This book started out great for me. It was an interesting premise and it really had me interested. It's really strange for me to say this, but I was okay with Clementine wanting to kill herself at the end. She had lived such a difficult life with mental illness and it seems that she was very prepared for ending it. She even left out all of her important papers, sold her items, gave her cat a new home and purchased a burial plot and coffin.
The ending really bothered me. It just felt so rushed and then I felt that there was no payoff, if that makes sense. I'm not saying I wanted her to kill herself, I wasn't actively rooting for it. But, I wish that she had more of a revelation at the end to keep living, not just like yeah, I'll sleep at my sister's house tonight. What happened the next day?
I really did enjoy this book, despite the ending. The writing was great and funny, and I look forward to seeing what Ashley Ream has in store for future books!
