Where You End is an onion that you peel away layer, after layer, after layer in hopes to make it to the center, but it only seems to grow in size. The draw of this kind of story hinges on the reveal, or reveals, as you work your way through it. It’s like assembling a puzzle without knowing the picture…. If that sounds like your jam, keep reading.
For starters, I am one of those readers who will shamelessly pick up a book (in this case audiobook) without knowing anything about it. I liked the cover and GoodReads had it shelved as a mystery/psychological thriller and that was enough for me. After listening to the book I read the GoodReads synopsis and friends, it read like that blabber mouth plot spoiling friend that ruins all the books and movies… This is what you need to know:
When Kat wakes up from a coma, she discovers nearly all memories of her past life have vanished. All she remembers is Jude is her twin sister, and now is her only hope of filling in the blanks and reclaiming her identity. But as the months progress, things are not adding up, and Kat fears Jude may be lying about their past. When Kat begins pulling at the threads, Jude’s elaborate tapestry begins to unravel and the two face dangers far beyond anything Kat could have ever imagined.
Boom. That’s it. That’s all you need to know. If that sounds good, then pick up this fucking book and buckle up for a story filled with intrigue, revenge, betrayal, & challenging morality… You won’t be disappointed.
The audiobook was fantastic. Megan Tusing and Samantha Desz were so well matched for Kat and Jude. Kat’s voice was delicate and innocent, Jude’s voice was smoky and bold… both perfectly matching what I as the reader should envision for each character. This is my first time listening to both, and I’m for sure seeking out other books they’ve narrated.
Thank you @macmillan.audio for the gifted copy.
