Amelia Unabridged by Ashley Schumacher
5.0
There are books where the characters resonate so intensely with you- not because your story is similar or you can empathize- but because there is magic in the words- it yields power over you and within you- Amelia Unabridged is one such novel. This story set my heart ablaze and I am happy to know I will carry a little piece of it with me always.
Ashley Schumacher has conceptualized grief in a brilliantly poetic and beautiful way. Amelia has lost so much in her young life and the strength and power of her resilience and ability to open up and trust was tear-jerkingly emotional.
Very rarely do I find a book where all the characters speak to me on an intellectual and emotional level. I relished seeing a tiny glimpse of myself in everyone from Amelia to Jenna and even Nolan and his resplendent imagination.
The story felt very reflective to me and I know that someone, somewhere out there, will find hope and beauty in their "something terrible." That they too can fashion their grief into something the world can admire and feel comforted by.
Amelia Unabridged is a feel good story of love, loss, friendship, the magic of stories and the power words have over us.
Thank you to the author, NetGalley and Wednesday Books for providing me with an arc. All the views expressed above are my own.
