Love and Other Perishable Items by Laura Buzo

4.0

I cried. This book was so good, and I related so closely to the main character. It was all written so well and portrayed teenage awkwardness so accurate. I loved the coming-of-age aspect of it. The one thing that disappointed me (and the reason I'm not giving it 5 stars) is that the ending felt so disappointing considering what the book was building towards. It all felt like it was so rushed and just stopped? I wish that Amelia would've gotten a better ending, and Chris' ending was just super abrupt and out of nowhere. If they both got a better ending, I would've totally given this 5 stars.
