My Copy I bought it
Ella is an activist for a just cause – she’s at the forefront of a movement to halt the ever expanding London skyline; the corporate empire dredging out the lower socio-economic families in rundown apartment housing for capital gain, pimping overseas investment growth.
Molly is a tenant and former big league activist in her own right, past her corporate-fighting days, she’s now a top class photographer content to sit on the sidelines, capturing key moments of rallies, movements, celebrations, and heartbreak to ensure the public eye isn’t tainted by political spin.
The two form a bond through a common interest which evolves into a near mother-daughter relationship, a relationship which is tested to extremes when Molly unwittingly becomes an accomplice to murder.
Told through present and past tense via alternating multi POV chapters between Ella and Molly, This is How it Ends is a cleverly written novel which traps the reader into the semi-false narrative of its protagonist.
My rating: 4/5 I loved the way This is How it Ends ended - a twist I didn't see coming which flipped the script on its head. I'll have to track down more books by Eva Dolen, if This is How it Ends is anything to go by, they're bound to be good.
