If you were a fan of The Lovely Bones

Several months ago, I went to a book event held by Hachette Book Group. It was a fantastic compilation of several of its authors speaking on panels about their particular genres and books. This is where I was introduced to Megan Abbott, author of The End of Everything and her new book, Dare Me. 

And what better way to leave an event like this than with a bag full of complimentary books. A true delight for a book lover. 

So after several days of deciding which book to pick up first, I chose The End of Everything. Why not start of with a mystery... 

The dynamics of this book do somewhat resemble my favorite book, The Lovely Bones. That whole aspect of -- you really don't know what goes on behind closed doors of your neighbors, friends or other family member's homes. Everybody has their secrets, and that is what intrigues us, especially as readers. Abbott does a great job of this. What really happened to Lizzie's best friend? Did she runaway, go willingly. The story will continue to surprise you just as you think you've figured it out.
