The Ocean at the End of the Lane

The ending parts, maybe the last 50 pages are basically the best thing ever. The rest is various degrees of good, a somewhat clunky novel but certainly a good one. Some elements feel out of place, or underdeveloped, too much time is spent on a certain plot point that feels weirdly unsignificant thematically. But that ending? Holy shit it really got me. The beginning is great but the ending is, again, sort of the best. Rating and deeper thoughts later maybe? great great book

If it weren't for some stuff in the middle this would absolutely be one of my favourite books. At this point, probably top 30 idk
