A book inspired by Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind and Black Mirror, Tell Me an Ending explores the lives of people who’ve had memories removed and are dealing with something called traces and a doctor who suspects something more sinister is happening at the clinic.
This book was so close to being incredible. The plot and story idea are brilliant, the characters are flawed so they feel real. They have real motivations, fears, complicated family matters, suspicions, jealousies and they are fleshed out.
I adored Noor’s character development and the moral vs. ethical dilemma that the book poses. I also loved how the characters are incredibly separate at the beginning and by the end have intertwined in some form or another.
My biggest issue was the length of the book. Through portions of the book it felt very dense with information which at times can be repetitive.
Overall, the writing is immersive, detailed and gives the reader a semblance of what each character is feeling.

I really liked the slow development and revealing of facts like a mystery novel. The different characters and bits of the story we received in each of their sections immediately hooked me. For some reason, some of their memory reveals felt anti-climatic, but I think the theme that different people process memories/moments/events differently and they can have a catastrophic impact on individuals' lives and seem unimportant to others was nuanced and layered.
Character writing was complex and nuanced, and I especially liked seeing how Louise fully crystallized with different perspectives falling into place. I also liked the tiny overlaps as each of the characters encounter one another in different ways.
