Eternal Sunshine is one of my all-time favorite movies so when I read the synopsis of this book I knew I had to read it. Overall, I really liked it. It's an interesting and, to me, seemingly realistic way this would unfold if it were to really happen. Corruption, behind-the-scenes deals, secrets from a lot of people, and many left confused and hurt. The layout of the book made the characters a little confusing for me at first which took me out of the story. I liked that we had perspectives from every type of person this procedure has an effect on, even from an employee. Overall, I enjoyed this book both for being like Eternal Sunshine and a small breath of fresh air in books that are coming out.

An interesting, and almost too real premise, that left me unsettled and questioning the ethics of messing with things that we do not understand.

If you’ve had a traumatic experience that you carry in your everyday life and had the chance to remove the memory would you?
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.
I’m also very curious for my own sake about what happened to Elena and what she knew about her bosses’ murder.
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.
