Fraying at the Edge

Beware Cliffhanger
5 plus star rating reduced ro 4 stars.
Fascinating story of two young women, one a devout Amish woman relied upon by her many siblings, one a rebellious, upper/downer addict and marginal college student, who were switched at birth. The switch isn't discovered until they are twenty.
Each is forced to spend months with their biological family with NO contact with the family that raised them. Forced to live in the starkly different community of the other.
The author expertly developes the character, feelings, and emotional life changes of each woman.
Unfortunately, each of the first two books ends at a life-changing point. Running into these points without resolution has all wallop of a cliffhanger. While each cliff compelled me to purchase the next book, which proves how cliffs financially benefit publishers and authors.Tighter editing and willingness to publish a now unfashionably long novel would rate 5+ stars. Not doing so demands lowering it to 4 stars

So now what?
Very interesting book. Believable on what can happen with many young people. But where is book number three? Not even a message if it will be a trilogy? That is not fair to the reader!
