Where You End by Abbott Kahler
3.0
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.
