Meghan Wetterhall post 3: FINAL

:Many authors, such as Sue Monk Kidd, choose cliff hanger endings for their stories. In this particular book, Sue Monk Kidd gives the reader a chance to imagine their own ending. For instance, we do not know how Lily and Zach's relationship ends up. We may only assume that they end up falling in love and living "happily ever after." Another example is Lily's future; what she chooses to do with her life. The author leads us to believe that she becomes a beekeeper, just like August. But the beauty of the cliffhanger is that you can make up the rest of her life however you want, giving us the freedom to add in our own ideas.
