Thanks for the offer!
It ended, but it took me 500 pages to get there. So I trimmed it to 350 pages. People tell me to break it into 2 or 3 books. I be like, "Donna Tart didn't do that with her best seller, The Goldfinch, a 750-page tome" (which I have yet to read; I want happy endings, please and thanks, not more tragedy).
I know how the story ends. I just don't know how much of a book readers are willing to read. One says to dump the nephew (and I did), another says to dump the POV of the father, which is such a drastic amputation, it'll never happen. And so on. Too many cooks. Too many conflicting suggestions. Thanks again for offering a fresh eye on it!
