Review: Good story, but just wanted a little bit more

I bought "Spectacle" because I'm all of 5'2 and my best friend is on the north side of 6'1. I wanted to see how the author handled the protagonist's height. Maybe it's my best friend's personality, but she certainly doesn't have the same hangups as the main character in "Spectacle." That aside, "Spectacle" was about two best friends, each with their own battles, who grow apart from each other. I was pulled into each of their lives. I empathized with them, and that's what creates a good book for me... do I care about the characters? Yes, I did.But I wanted more. I really would have liked to have seen the final outcomes, emotions, relationships of both the girls fleshed out much more than they where. I would liked to have give the story four stars, but the end was rather abrupt and almost empty emotionally compared to the previous 90% of the book.Would I recommend it? Absolutely. It certainly wasn't a bad book at all. It was well written, the characters were well developed, and the story flowed nicely from beginning to end.
