The End of Everything by Megan Abbott

1.0

Initially I gave this book two stars because while it’s problematic it’s at least well written. The more I thought about it though this book is a piece of trash and awarding it one star is generous. The idea that a 13 year old is a willing participant in her abduction and sexual assault is abhorrent. The 13 year old also alleges that her “relationship” with the older man is ok because her older sister allegedly has a sexual relationship with their father, and that is fucked up. Avoid this garbage book. See also My Absolute Darling, another piece of shit book that attempts to normalize rape and violence and older men desiring sex with children.
