    GUESS THE BOOK BY THE LAST LINE | we swear we've read these

    Are most books identifiable by just their final lines? Today we're putting our memories to the test, and learning that most books ends with the main character taking someone's hand and walking somewhere. Groundbreaking. This episode is SPOILER FREE. We made sure to pick books where the final lines give away nothing about the plot. If you play along with us, let us know how you did!
