The End of Everything by Megan Abbott
First Line: She, light-streaky out of the corner of my eye.
Summary: Thirteen-year-old Lizzie and Evie have always been best friends. They know everything about each other, no secrets . . . or at least they thought. Then one day Evie disappears, and Lizzie tries to find out what happened and along the way learns things about herself and her best friend’s “picture-perfect” family that makes her love and hate them even more.
Highlights/Lowlights: Seeing things from a 13-year-old’s perspective is both intriguing and frustrating.
FYI: Not for the faint of heart. It’s dark, raw, and graphic in some parts of the book. If you like Gillian Flynn, you will like this.
