The Book Evolving

This novel has evolved into something that I never expected when we first began reading. Lily has grown into a new person, and has truly moved forward in finding her identity. She now knows the truth and has been exposed to many new concepts that she wouldn't have thought of if she had stayed and lived in her town with T. Ray. What else do you think will happen in the last chapter? DO you think Lily will evolve more and do you think she/us will see more surprises? Also, how have we seen the characters and the story evolve into something so complex and thoughtful?
