At the End of Everything by Marieke Nijkamp – Review by Colleen Noyes

At the End of Everything by Marieke Nijkamp
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

At the End of Everything started out as a very slow book, but by about half way through it picked up and I found myself beginning to enjoy it a little more. While it is not marketed as a book about Covid, that’s basically what it felt like. A story about what is going on in the world at this time and the struggles. I found some of the characters likeable, but then there was no closure on some of the others so it left me with mixed reactions. I will say that towards the last 60 pages or so, I finally felt connected to the characters and stories and the last few chapters brought me to tears. My suggestion would be if you pick up this book to go into it knowing that it’s pretty much about covid, but if you hang in there to the end you will be pleasantly surprised by where the author starts and ends.
