It does cover a topic youth should be cognizant of, but not without the ability to discuss it with an adult. Additionally, while the characters are teenagers, I would not recommend that a teen read this alone. While I wouldn’t recommend this book to the sensitive or weak of heart, this would make quite the book club discussion. These secrets, and their outcome, force Lizzie to deal with scenerios no child should have to deal with, especially at such a sensitive age. Lizzie began her story, somewhat naive to the world, ultimately growing & maturing by discovering the secrets her best friend had kept long hidden. Ultimately, I believe that it was Meg’s writing style, the way she was able to detail the story through the voice of a teenage girl, that really lead to the impact of this story. It covers some pretty dark subjects, not ones I would often recommend for reading material. I wondered about how I would review this book. Unfortunately, Evie’s quest at self-discovery is horribly taken advantage of and distorted. At this age, they are incredible sensitive to affection or attention from those outside their immediate family. Lizzie & Evie are at an age during which they are discovering themselves: their identity, their sexuality, their individuality. Little did I know how “creepy” this book would be. When I had the opportunity to meet Meg while in NY for BEA, that sealed the deal. I was inspired to read The End of Everything after Julie ( Booking Mama) indicated that I would love it due to the creepy-factor. She begins to investigate her best friend’s life and ultimately wonders just how well she knew Lizzie. Everyone comes to Evie for answers: Was Lizzie unhappy? Was someone watching her? The only thing Lizzie can recall is a maroon sedan Lizzie saw trailing them a few days prior.Īfter the police invesigation comes to a stand-still, Lizzie takes things into her own hands. One day Evie goes missing the last Lizzie saw her was at school. Lizzie adores Evie’s family, including her father & older sister, Dusty.
Lizzie Hood & Evie Verner, thirteen years old, are neighbors and best friends, inseparable.
