She illustrated the upcoming Rainbow Rowell graphic novel, and the illustrations look fantastic, but yeah, no pictures in this book (that I know of, since I did read the digital galley). The ending wasn't bad, though. It was actually quite nice. It just felt a little quick/abrupt. Nick and June was heartbreaking and heartwarming. A little sad, but I thought the ending was not dismal. It pointed towards maybe something promising for the future.
