How Does Hulu’s ‘Conversations With Friends’ End? (SPOILERS)

Author Sally Rooney actually explained to PBS News Hour how she decided to end Conversations With Friends with an ambiguous ending:

“I realized it was over, strangely enough, when I wrote the final scene. I had written several other endings for the book, which were much longer, because I seemed to believe at some unconscious level that it was my task to ‘tie up’ every ambiguity I had introduced. Once I identified that impulse, and reasoned myself out of it, I wrote the final scene as it is now – and I felt the novel was finished.”
