- Finny has re-broken leg
- Gene tries to sneak in and talk to him
- Finny goes to have leg set
- Finny dies
My reaction:
NO!!!!!! Why? Why is this necessary to the plot. We were one chapter away from finding happiness. It really made me sad. Finny admitted he applied to a bunch of military branches, but they all rejected him. Which is why he refused to believe there was a war. And even though Finny knows the truth about Gene, he still forgives him. It would have been a happy and nice resolution. But no. Finny has to die while having his leg set, and the doctor completely did not seem to carry about Finny as a person. Instead he just referred to the war, and the coming of more deaths. The worst passage of all to read was about how Gene felt like attending Finny's funeral was like attending his own. Gene was literally crazy in love for Finny, wanting to be him and thinking about Finny all the time, and his one true love dies through his fault. No. It's not okay for this to be the second to last chapter of the book.
