The Secret Life of Amanda K. Woods by Ann Cameron

2.0

I read this at school over and over, but only because other books could have been a lot worse. There really is no plot, so we're disregarding the blurb right now. It's pretty boring, and sometimes Amanda says something creative, and she leaves it at that, so you don't get it and it feels disjointed. It's way too realistic too, so if you love fiction, just don't read it.

this book was okay. I must say that it did get a lot better towards the end but it had a slow start in my opinion. I definitely related to her troubles with her older sister, but at some points I felt as if the book was more directed towards younger readers. even though the book felt a little kiddy, I think everyone needs an easy playful read every once in a while. and it was a pretty good book overall.

I remember liking this book in elementary school, not sure how it holds up now.

I was at my mother's old house in Jamaica one summer when I found this in some of the old boxes that were lying around. Besides an old issue of Cosmopolitan and a huge ass book on American history, this was the only thing I read over the two months I was there (there was no television set or radio to use because of the electricity on the fritz). This was also the book that made me want to become a writer, so this holds a very special place in my heart.
I'm going to admit, I haven't seen this book in years and I've forgotten most of what happened, but I do know that I felt like I could really relate to the main character. It had some very good moments throughout, so it definitely kept my attention that summer.
