The End of Everything by Megan Abbott

3.0

This was a weird one. I liked the disturbing factor but it seemed like the author was trying too hard at times to write something "beautiful". Several instances where vague feelings were referenced in the italicized parts which I found annoying. Some of the characters just seemed too off their rockers/in the throes of nervous breakdown (Lizzie's last conversation with Pete- what was that?) and just came off over the top. In the end the pieces more or less fit together but it didn't happen very organically which is really what makes for suspense.
