The Ending Writes Itself

Summary: Six authors.

One private island.

Seventy-two hours to write the ending that will change their lives.

Arthur Fletch, one of the world’s bestselling novelists, is a reclusive genius known for his iconic protagonists and fiendish twists. When six struggling authors are invited to spend a weekend on his private Scottish island, they arrive to discover a shocking secret: Arthur Fletch is dead . . . and his last book is unfinished.

Desperate to publish the novel, Fletch’s agent and editor have summoned these writers in the hope that one of them will imagine a worthy ending for this final book. To sweeten the deal, they are offering an irresistible prize: in addition to ghost-writing the last chapter––for a mind-boggling sum––they will also help the lucky writer successfully re-launch their own career, guaranteeing future bestsellers. The catch: the writers have just seventy-two hours to finish Fletch’s magnum opus.

Starting is often the hardest part. But getting to the end could be murder. 

 

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

I’ve never read a book by either V.W. Schwab or Cat Clarke… so I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting into with their alter ego, Evelyn Clarke; but I liked the sound of it.

So I checked it out from the local library (again, another opportunity to sing the praises of Cloud Library app!) and I had to wait 2-3 weeks for the book, but that was ok because I may not always be doing a ton of reading….. but it’s never from lack of material.

What I liked:

That cover is very cool.

The setting. And the why of them being there. And the thrill/rush of having 72 hours to complete this book for alllllllllllllll the perks!

The ending!

Minor gripe:

I feel the book went one twist too far, but that’s just me. Read it and form your own opinion!

 

Bottom line: Solid 3 star book for me. Would read other Evelyn Clarke books.
