Review

'I am in awe of Steph Bowe. Her second novel, All This Could End, is so confident and perceptive that it is difficult to believe its author is only 18-years-old. Her outstanding evocation of what it is like to be on the verge of adulthood demonstrates a degree of self-awareness that most writers achieve only with the benefit of hindsight...Sophia Pretty is a particular highlight; a pathological mother figure with a flair for emotional blackmail who, while exaggerated, is sure to have teenage readers everywhere nodding in recognition.' 4 stars * Junior Bookseller & Publisher *
'All This Could End is a great second novel and marks [Bowe] as a writer to watch.' * Viewpoint Magazine *
'Thoughtful with wonderful offbeat moments and quirky characters, All This Could End is another engaging story by talented young novelist Steph Bowe. With her distinctive blend of light-heartedness and depth, Bowe delivers a story that prompts readers to think about how far they would be willing to go for family and the value of true friendship.' * Kids Book Review *
'Has a lightness of touch that makes her poignant expose of a family about to fall apart a sheer pleasure to read...Bowe elegantly captures a cast of quirky characters in this charming and believable tale.' * NZ Listener *
'All This Could End is a stunning novel about secrets, family, and standing up to even those we love…I devoured this book in one sitting and it's honestly one of my favourite Aussie YA books of all time.' * Written Word Worlds *

"Witty and intelligent."

Excerpt from Book

Nina Pretty holds the gun to the boy's head, her other arm around his neck. Her balaclava itches. 'I'm not going to hurt you,' she whispers in his ear, her voice calm and reassuring like she's not freaking out right now. 'Just don't move. This will all be over very soon.'
