The End of Everything by Megan Abbott
3.0
amateur joyce carol oates. with lines so flowery it's shameful. the desired content is there. childhood friendship, obsession, girly mystique.
once the abducted kid returns, things get wild. jelly sandals in the locker room shower; sleepovers, tracing letters on skin; taboo, metaphysical affairs with no tummy touching. last third of this book hits the spot.

You Must Remember This
What if it’s true about Mr. Douglas, the lantern-jawed science teacher? Did he really say there was no better example of the sublime poetry of hydraulics than Dusty walking down the third-floor corridor?
