Two things that will always draw me into a story are dual timelines and an unreliable narrator
So when I saw Where You End by Abbott Kahler had dual timelines with a set of twins that could be unreliable I was ready to dive in.
In this story one of the twins, Kat, gets in an accident and suffers from amnesia, and can basically only remember her twin, June.
Admittedly this is not a favorite trope but I pushed on.
Once Kat is allowed to leave the hospital she starts to try and piece her life together. Unfortunately she starts to suspect that Jude has taking this as opportunity to totally reinvent their past.
Kat keeps picking at threads that are perhaps better left alone in an effort to find out who she is, and the dark secrets of their past.
This one kept me engaged throughout the story, there are some attempts at twist that I think weren’t that surprising but I think that’s because this really reads more like a TV Drama than a psychological thriller which isn’t a bad thing.
Like I said I enjoy trying to connect dual timelines together and the complex relationship of the twins really worked for this story.
The pacing is a little inconsistent but nothing to crazy.
All and all I think it’s worth reading. Let me know how you felt about it!
Also the cover is great.
Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the opportunity to listen to this book early. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review
