I read Stretch in anticipation of the girls kissing, but also to see where it was going with the one girl's past with all the flashbacks and that one dude and stuff, and honestly both of them just being completely ignored in the end entirely soured me on it. I'm usually not opposed to ambiguous/open endings but only when they've got obvious purpose to them, and that's where the series stumbled for me. I could see it skipping over the resolution to the latter on the basis of 'the past is the past, she's finally moved past it now, and so should the reader' but that really rings hollow when we both never get a really clear idea of what happened beyond speculation, but also don't get to see her moving on or anything of the sort. And because the flirting and romance hints were dropped in the end we also don't get that to show that she's starting a new chapter in her life or whatever. I don't really care what genre you want to categorize it in or anything, all I care about is it's a story that just completely up and abandoned its most interesting (to me) story-beats and therefore ended in a completely unsatisfying way that marred all the previous work.
