I finished The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy (Harold Fry #2). I'm going to put some MAJOR spoilers in the spoilers.
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (Harold Fry #1) is about a guy who finds out that his friend is in hospice. He decides to walk to the hospice. The book is about his walk and all the people he meets along the way.
Spoiler
The book seemed happy, and uplifting, and I was sure it was going to have a nice touching ending even though the friend was dying. But instead the end was like, "He got to the hospice, and his friend was barely conscious and couldn't say a word. Oh, and by the way his son killed himself. The end" So I was like ehhh.....
The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy (Harold Fry #2) is the same story but told from the friend's point of view. The whole story is a letter that Queenie is writing to Harold while she waits for him to walk to her.
Spoiler
The letter is all about how she was in love with him, and she knew his son, and she feels responsible for his suicide. The book felt kind of hopeful though. So even though a really positive ending wasn't possible, it still felt like it would probably at least have a touching ending. Instead it was like, "Harold visited, she couldn't talk, then she died, then the hospice people gave Harold the letter that she wrote him, but no one could read her handwriting, the end." So then I was like ehhhhh.... Loved the books, hated the endings.

I'm tempted to lie a little to make sure I finish on time, but I'm so afraid they will ask me about one of the books that I didn't really finish yet lol.
