My Wild Party

A book about the corruption of the roari’n 20’s, a New York party ends in tradgedy.

THE ENDING WE ALL KNOW:
Burrs finds Queenie and Black together and attempts to shoot him out of jealousy, but Black ends up shooting Burrs and there’s an abrupt ending.

ALTERNATE ENDING:
Burrs should’ve found Queenie and Black together and done nothing, just walked away leaving Queenie seething. Then she shoots Burrs and herself leaving Black completely alone

I believe this ending highlights the dysfunctional relationship between Burrs and Queenie. I still like the abrupt ending, but having Black and Queenie live just leaves too many unanswered questions
