My Thoughts

What to say about this book; a disturbing read but eye opening.
This is a book that you’ll love or hate; the story is about friendship, love and family. Toxic families and love; the doubts of being a teenager and the idillic friendship that believes in perfection.
This book is read like a 13 years old; so, even if it’s difficult sometimes to understand the emotions and feelings of our main character, Lizzie, will feel when her best friend, Evie, disappears.
The book talks about relationships between adult and teenagers; illicit? Probably, but seen with the young eyes seem something marvelous and exciting. This book reflects the different perspective of how these illicit relationships can be seen when you are young or adult; and that’s why this book is so important. It shows how the young ones see it as their first love, but as an adult, this could be seen as abuse.
The story is centered in a summer when Lizzie is copping with disappearance of her best friend, Evie, her need to know what happened and find her alive.
The book is told in a beautiful way even if it treats very difficult themes, never being explicit but the doubt and questions are always there…
This is a book to make you reflect what you’ve read and to be angry; we should protect our children, always.
Are you ready for “The End of Everything”?
