I must admit, it was a page turner, but that ending was crap. It reminded me of the 1970s films that were all about character and then just stopped, and the audience would sit there, mouths gaping, wondering what happened to the ending? Did they run out of money or something?

I liked the characterisation in GG and the movement and the structure. But the ending just wasn't satisfying. I don't think as a writer she did her job well enough. The majority of the story telling - yes. Ending - no. I felt a bit cheated.(less)

Tasha Yes, alot of people were disappointed in the ending. I really wanted some type of justice to happen to Amy. She just got off easy breezy so crazy lol
