So, my experience with this book was much like if you were at a party and the person you were talking to just casually peed into the punch bowl. Maybe they are a really interesting person. Maybe I'd really enjoy getting to know them, but there is zero hope I am going to be able to think anything but, "Oh my God, this is the disgusting person who peed in the punch". Like that's a real ick factor. Well, that was kind of my experience here. When one of the first things Kat does when we meet her is find and use her twins vibrator, I just could not move past it. That is a bit too much twin enmeshment for me. I ended up DNFing shortly after.

I’m not going to give spoilers which is.. very hard given my favorite aspect is also their whole past and what fuels the storyline. But I loved learning about their past // hated it in the best possible. I loved piecing together why what happened, happened. We stan strong female leads who take no prisoners and handle their business. But this book should have just been titled lost your memory? Let’s gas light you. It obviously all made sense in the end but I found myself angry at the characters enough to want to quit a few times. I wish their mom was #4 honestly. I think I would have liked it so much more if there was true closure but it felt like after finally learning what we needed to know, we didn’t get any. Yes, there obviously still was some. But I was too mad. I may have liked it more if I had read a physical copy vs listening to the audiobook and the reading time itself wasn’t extended.

Review: 2.5 stars
"Where You End" by Abbott Kahler presents an intriguing premise but falls short in execution, resulting in a story that struggles to engage and lacks emotional resonance. The concept of a twin manipulating her sister's memories promises suspense and mystery, yet the narrative fails to deliver a compelling connection with the characters.
The slow pacing and lack of emotional depth make it challenging for me to invest in the story. The cult aspect, a potentially gripping element, feels underdeveloped, leaving me yearning for more substance. Additionally, the use of twin language, instead of enhancing the narrative, falls short and detracts from the overall experience.
The 80s setting and eerie atmosphere contribute positively to the story, offering glimpses of potential.
The unresolved romance between Kat and Sab, after being a significant focus, leaves me feeling unfulfilled. The abrupt ending adds to the sense of an incomplete narrative, with loose ends and unanswered questions that don't evoke a sense of anticipation but rather a feeling of dissatisfaction.
In summary, "Where You End" struggles to captivate, with a slow plot, underdeveloped elements, and an ending that leaves me wanting more in an unsatisfying way.

This was... Weird. The cult aspect was interesting, then it shifted. The mirror twin aspect was pushed so hard it made it hard to focus on the individual characters. I ended up feeling this this was a bit muddled. I understood the twist it just wasn't as satisfying bc it was SO MUCH leading up to it.
