Review:

Why!!! They didn’t end up together. I absolutely hate it when books leave it on an end that just doesn’t fit the rest of the book. I know they have to grow and change as humans, but they are so good for each other. The story itself was a little predictable but not to the extreme it was fun to try to figure out what happened to the ticket. I also liked the wag the inanimate objects just talked to you. Like that was so cool! But again, why!! I really liked the side characters, and the story was really well developed. I use this word a lot, but I thought the ending was very anticlimactic compared to the rest of the book. It would have been so much cooler if it ended like that, and then the epilogue was from the house's perspective or something. I just feel like they need to be more than friends. I liked the lottery story and how much interesting information I learned from it. It was a good book and a great cover, but I took points off because of that ending.
