WHY---INDEED, WHY?
"WHY? "is a good question to ask yourself.
I believe you are mistaken that the story "resonated' with me. I wanted to explore it to see why, in my estimation, it was flawed. This is a story in which Appel is showing off how bright and intelligent he is. I find the dialogue and story line somewhat tedious. I was a bit annoyed that he was using the battle between the couple to take us to no resolution.
As for the sections, it seems obvious from his cinematic ending that they are the equivalent of "scenes" in a film. This is not a practice exclusive to Appel. Different authors use similar devices to denote either the passage of time or the ending of one scene and the beginning of another.
Even so, I can't concoct a better ending than the one Appel offers, even though it leaves me a little bit angry that I bothered to finish reading this affair of the tragic sadness of hedghogs...indeed, Josh and Adeline are just a couple of hedgehogs marinating in the tears of their own sad lives.
