I really liked the end of the novel Written on the Body. I liked it because the author doesn’t ever say if it is really Louise that is at the door, or if the protagonist is imagining that it is Louise from the intense memory that (s)he has of Louise. I like the idea that it actually is Louise more than the latter because I was really pulling for the main character to get back with Louise because I felt for him/her. Oh, and by the way I really hated the character Gail. She just seemed like this fat, disgusting woman who despite being told that the main character had no interest in her and was still in love with Louise felt the need to impose herself on the main character. I really just wanted to hit Gail and say get the hell out of here, no one wants you around. It was really nice when the real/imaginary Louise appeared at the end to displace gail.
