Helpful Score: 4

After reading everyone's review of this book and someone saying they liked it even more than "The Center of Everything" (which I read twice because I enjoyed it so much) I just had to read "The Rest of Her Life." I was very disappointed. First off, everyone said this was a sequel to "The Center of Everything" (which is why I bought it). It's NOT. It is a completely different story. "The Center of Everything" was much better and kept me turning the pages. With "The Rest of Her Life" I kept looking to see how many pages I had to go before I finished it. Not that it was a horrible book but just not very good. I found the plot rather boring and the characters really bland. I especially hated how it ended. It didn't leave me wanting to read a sequal but I think Laura Moriarty could have done a better job tying up the loose ends. It almost seemed like she just wanted to end the story and so she did. No deep meaning behind it, no make you feel good moments, nothing.
