I found it odd that the storylines didn't cross at the end either, I could have sworn by the title that this would be the case. I wasn't thrilled that the stories didn't end happier because they all had so much drama in their lives. I was hoping it would all be worth it in the end and the concert would be the beginning of a new chapter of happiness for them. I was a little disappointed that this wasn't the case.
