What happens to Adele in the end? No job, no home, no income. Did I miss something?

Jessica You didn’t miss anything, the author was too bored of her own boring book to write an ending for any of the boring characters.

I was totally convinced that at the end the 3 women decided to commit suicide together. Did anyone else think this? In my bookclub I was the only one out of 9 to think this happened. Think I missed something!

Nelda I thought that was going to happen too. The ending with all the women swimming reminded me of the ending of Kate Chopin's The Awakening in which that …moreI thought that was going to happen too. The ending with all the women swimming reminded me of the ending of Kate Chopin's The Awakening in which that character swims out to sea and never comes back (I think I have the right author and short story). Anyway, these 3 women evidently don't do that. For one, Wendy is going to write another book and her daughter will help her pack up her house several years later and she will decide that Lance really did love her (see nearly the end of the book). Also, Jude plans to go back to "her" apartment and wait and see. It seems the author tells us their futures. Adele is still up in the air but is glad to have her friends back. Sorry, suicide is unlikely, but I see why you thought so!(less)

Hi, I feel like I'm missing the point where Adele thinks she can "help" Joe and why she invited Joe and Sonia to dinner. What was all that about? Thanks!
