Book description
'Deft, enthralling and intelligent'
Kate Atkinson
Lizzie and Evie are inseparable. They walk home from school together,
sleep over at each other's houses, even flirt with boys together. And
they tell each other everything. Or at least, that's what Lizzie thinks
-- until Evie goes missing, and Lizzie suddenly realises their
friendship wasn't quite what she thought.
A novel about two young girls discovering their sexuality; about
fathers and daughters; about family and friendship; about jealousy,
secrets and lies, The End of Everything
is a powerful reminder that things aren't always what they seem.
'A gripping and disturbing novel, a fever dream of adolescent desire
and adult complicity' Tom Perrotta
