The Mellification by Nat Buchbinder

2.0

The Mellification has a nice premise but didn’t feel like it knew what to do with it. I was more intrigued by this story’s description initially, but it wasn’t meant to be. All the individual plotlines are intriguing, and I especially found Holly’s character to be an aspect I liked. However, dialogue and plot are surprisingly over-obvious. Then the pacing is just jagged, and does no justice to anyone. The ending is the most abrupt. Although I almost like the ending from a distance, I am disappointed that it left the other two subplot lines severed, while also not hitting the expected emotional beats of the main.
