I loved this book until the ending (which I won't give away) but I thought it was a prime example of deus ex machina. Anyone else agree?

POTENTIAL SPOILERS....

Can someone please refresh my memory on what happened to Echo at the end. I can't remember that loose end being tied up, and she is not mentioned in the blurbs at the end with the rest of the characters...is this why people keep thinking that Chuck might do a sequel..which I hope he does NOT do.

I borrowed the book or else I just reread it, but I couldn't find any evidence on what happened to her after the events in the novel.

Thanks for sharing

You're doing it wrong.

I'd like to have this question revisited because I only just finished this book, and the lack of Echo drove me nuts. There was no mention of her in the car with Chester and Neddy at the very end... Obivously not with Green, being that she was in buying licorice. No mention of anything after waking to see Shot kiss Neddy to pass along the rabies. I'm confused.
