Pictures of You is the first book by Caroline Leavitt that I've read. It's a story that sucks you in and makes the book hard to put down until the very last page because you're just hoping really hard that things will end up the way you want them for the two main adult characters. I must admit that in the end, that is in the book's end, I felt a huge let down. While the author says the book ends the way it does so that readers will think about the characters afterwards and what might come next for them after the end of the book, that is not what I thought about when the book ended. I thought why? Why is this book? What is the point of the entire book if that is how it is going to end? WHY? I'm really writing this into more of a big deal than it is to me--I was disappointed in the ending. It gives me pause about trying out Leavitt's other books--will their endings disappoint me too? I figure I'll try out one and see how it goes...
