Tell Me an Ending by Jo Harkin

3.0

For a book that really tries to frame itself as a character drama, the characters are ultimately unsatisfying in many ways. While I understand the idea of indeterminacy is essential to this novel, I think there's a difference between resolving a moment in a character's life while leaving their future open and and sort of dropping their thread because they're non longer essential to the story. I'm not sure if that makes sense. There were some interesting and enjoyable elements, but overall the novel lacked finesse.
