Did you feel cheated by the ending?

Did anyone else feel cheated by the ending? I thought it would have felt more natural if John ended up with Ruth instead but of course, then we wouldn't have had a happy ending (which are very important to me, although unnecessary).

I guess it's because all throughout the novel, Lorna seemed to me a very wispy, ghostlike character, angelic, too-good-to-be-true like and one of those innocent, beautiful (perhaps dislikeably so) girls who one can never understand.

I reckon John has got himself lumbered with a high maintenance princess there.
