I finally spoke up about the ending of 'Project Hail Mary' at our library group in Boise

Our whole club was split, with half calling it a perfect finish and the other half, including me, feeling the last chapter undercut the main character's choice, which led to a two hour debate that made me realize I need to prepare my points with actual page numbers next time, so how do you guys handle it when a book's ending just doesn't sit right with you?

Yeah, needing page numbers for a debate like that is so real. When an ending bugs me, I go back and write down the exact lines that felt off, like the specific moment a character's decision seemed to contradict their earlier actions. Having those quotes in front of me stops the discussion from just being about feelings.
