Do you like happy endings?

by Adrian Sroka

I confess that I do. I like life-affirming novels, that's why I'm a fan of Eva Ibbotson, Sharon Creech and Michael Morpurgo, to name a few.

I like books that leave me wondering what happened next. Did Jane Eyre marry Edward Rochester? Did he regain his sight?

I'm kind of a fan of bittersweet endings. Ones where the hero achieves his goal but must sacrifice something significant to do so. They're the ones that stick with me over time and the ones that I like to write.

Yes..!!! I do like happy endings... But,I dont think it would happen all the time... There are Ups and Downs in life... Hence,one cant expect his or her life to end happily!! I dont believe in happy endings until and unless we are right from our side...
