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.

Even so, as Evie Verver's best friend, Lizzie is the one person who might just hold the clue to Evie's disappearance, and so no-one -- apart from Evie's gorgeous, glamorous older sister, Dusty -- thinks it odd that Lizzie still hangs out at the Verver house, talking to Mr Verver. Who knows? Perhaps between the two of them, they'll work out what's happened and bring Evie back home where she belongs, safe and sound.

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 . . . That childhood isn't always innocent, memories aren't always reliable -- and endings aren't always happy.
