I didn't pick up on the casual racism at the time but still think it's an engaging read and it wouldn't take much to release a slightly edited version. The ending! My goodness. Between that one and every John Green novel of ever, I loathe open ended books. I think it's a way that authors can keep audiences happy to an extend without alienating sections of their audience but gosh, commit to a solid ending already!Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-13637348039812370232019-03-14T14:52:51.241-04:002019-03-14T14:52:51.241-04:00I'd love a sequel to I'll Meet You There. ...I'd love a sequel to I'll Meet You There.

At the very end there was a letter from Josh to Sky. I have the hardcover so I'd never seen it. I was so desperate for some kind of check-in with those two that I went to the bookstore, grabbed the paperback, and read the letter while standing there.
