Description To Books The End of Everything

Thirteen-year-old Lizzie Hood and her next-door neighbor, Evie Verver, are inseparable, best friends who swap clothes, bathing suits, and field-hockey sticks and between whom, presumably, there are no secrets. Then one afternoon, Evie disappears, and as a rabid, giddy panic spreads through the balmy suburban community, everyone turns to Lizzie for answers. Was Evie unhappy, troubled, or upset? Had she mentioned being followed? Would she have gotten into the car of a stranger? Compelled by curiosity, Lizzie takes up her own furtive pursuit of the truth. Haunted by dreams of her lost friend and titillated by her own new power as the center of the disappearance, Lizzie uncovers secret after secret and begins to wonder if she knew anything at all about her best friend.

Criticism Appertaining To Books The End of Everything

I did not like this book. I found it disturbing. In a time when so many men are accused of sexually abusing young girls, to have a book centered on 13 year olds who are consumed with their relationships (or lack thereof) with older men, fathers, etc. just to me was off the mark. I was offended when the young girl "offered" herself to the man who didn't kidnap her but she willingly went with him.....all so she could experience the single love of a man as she rivals for her father's attention with

The End of Everything features some more messed up teenage girls, just like You Will Know Me. I think these young ladies were even worse. I had fun reading this strange, mysterious, psychologically focused novel.

This book represents a significant departure for Megan Abbott and is really more a literary novel than it is a crime novel. Two thirteen-year-old girls, Lizzie Hood and Evie Verver, are next-door neigbors and best friends in the suburban world of the 1980s. They share everything, including their deepest secrets. Lizzie's father has recently abandoned the family, and Lizzie idolizes the Verver family. She is especially drawn to Evie's father whom she believes is virtually perfect.The two girls'

4.5 StarsThriller A Thon: A trope you love WHAT THE F**K DID I JUST READ? Man, this book is dark. I was so creeped out reading this book and I couldn't put my finger on what I found so creepy. The End of Everything is not what I thought it would be. Going into this book, I thought I knew where it was going but it turns out I had no clue. This book was never predictable. Even when I thought I had it all figured out this book took some crazy turns. Can a plot be both slow moving and action packed

(Note: 2 1/2 stars.) Original review published on The Book Smugglers HEREWarning! This review contains spoilers!13-year-olds Lizzie and Evie are next-door neighbours who have been friends their whole lives and are so close, they have no secrets and sometimes they cant even tell their memories apart. Lizzie, the narrator of this story, is fascinated by Evies seemingly perfect family, especially her glamorous older sister Dusty, a beautiful boy-magnet girl and accomplished sportswoman and above

WOW! This is the first Megan Abbott book I have read. While this may be more of a 4 star book, it gets a 5 from me! I simply adore Megan Abbott! The beginning of this book had me all smiley and nostalgic. Never have I heard girl pubescence so exquisitely described. The scabs and bruises, the racing abandon, the deep desire to know of the elusive adult secrets. And damn, if Abbott didn't take me right down the road of these secrets. It gets dark, very dark.The story is told by 13 year old Lizzy.

a moment alone, i would steal a peek in dusty's room, clogged with the cotton smell of baby powder and lip gloss and hands wet with hair spray. her bed was a big pink cake with faintly soiled flounces and her floor dappled with the tops of nail polish bottles, with plastic-backed brushes heavy with hair, with daisy-dappled underwear curled up like pipe cleaner, jeans inside out, the powdery socks still in them, folded-up notes from all her rabid boyfriends, shiny tampon wrappers caught in the
