...Another Ending

*SPOILERS*
I just finished the book I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith and the book was great! It followed Cassandra as she went through her first love and how she grows up.
At the end of the book, Rose runs away with Neil and leaves Simon hunting for her. Once they find Rose and Neil, Simon realizes that Rose is not in love with him, and Cassandra realizes that Simon could never be in love with her. Then Simon goes back to America with his mother, and Neil and Rose do the same. Cassandras father starts writing again and the story ended all wrapped up. The end was a kind of fairy tale ending but it was still open to the future of Cassandra and her world.
I highly recommend this book and hate that it ended!
I really liked the book and thought that the story progressed really well. The journal entries were different than other books that are in journal form that I have read. There was no date and the entries were long and sophisticated and really told the story. This made the book even better and makes you fall in love with Cassandra and her world.
