I'm done with the book The Secret Life of Bees. I will not write a summary for this book on the blog because i think that it will just spoil it for anyone that will read it. However, i will say that the book had a happy ending. The main character Lily learned to forgive both her mom and herself and she lived happily ever after. The characters in the book confused me. So if you are planning to read this book, it would help you if you already know the characters... Making this character profile helps me understands the book myself. so enjoy~
