The End of Her by Shari Lapena

After reading letter X, I needed to choose a lighter book in my alphabet challenge. I laugh because "The End of Her" was not lighter, but boy it was exciting!  Lapena is one of my favourite Canadian authors. I was so excited to read this novel because it was the only novel I hadn't read of hers.  I have her entire collection sitting on the shelves of my home library. In perfect Dawn Rodger style, I squirrelled back from the end of the alphabet at letter X, and jumped to letter E!  
Lapena knows how to write anxiety. She pens every shady and shadowy question of the inner mind, and it is felt by the reader tenfold. My emotions were on a roller coaster ride of ups and downs, moving with the emotions of the characters. I was trying desperately to discover the solutions to their problems and was rallying them on, praying they would make the right choices and follow the right path. I felt so deeply for them, it was like I was right inside their heads. I honestly finished this book in three days, while working full-time and being a mom. I could not put it down. 
I found the inner pain of her characters to be so tragic and at times I felt so sad for them. As a reader, I could empathize so easily with her characters because they were human, flawed, and had heartbreaking experiences that could be felt. This is due to Lapena's talent as a writer. The ending was left open ended, but not without closure.  A whirlwind of a story, that left me still wondering "Who dunnit?"
