The end with Robbie and Cecilia broke my freakin' heart. McAvoy and Keira just killed me.

That was my whole thing.

My heart broke for them in the novel, right? But it was this total theoretical thing because even when you were reading the second part, with Briony going to apologize, you kind-of knew he was dead. You let yourself hope, but in the back of your head, you knew.

But at the end, I got so angry at Briony that it kind-of overshadowed every other emotion and I was so focused on that that Robbie and Cecilia became a secondary thing. What happened to them upset me and fed into my anger, but they themselves didn't really enter into it.

But seeing that? Seeing them together?

I'm still getting whimpery just thinking about it.

They deserved each other.

It was too much.

With the novel, you have time to process it, you know? With this, there's no time and.
