When the author ends the story this way, she wants to leave you guessing as to what will happen next. After people finish reading a book that ends with all the “loose ends wrapped up”, they often return to their normal lives and quickly forget about the book and its characters. But a book like “The Secret Life of Bees” leaves readers pondering over what will come next for a while. For many, an ending that allows you to think open-mindedly, can make the book twice as interesting. Whether you want to make the ending happy or sad, it is all up to you. The author’s goal is most likely not to write a sequel, but rather to freeze Lily at this point in her life, and to leave what will happen next for you to imagine.
