Amelia Unabridged
by Ashley Schumacher
a book about grief, loss, acceptance, and forgiving yourself, amelia unabridged is a beautiful story. but i still felt a little underwhelmed.
- insta-love all the way: just because your characters have acknowledged the insta-love doesn't make it any less bad! along with that, this book bordered on the "the love interest heals all " trope which was also not that great. like please go to therapy and don't listen to your gen z boyfriend! i think often with two characters both with emotional scars, they rely on each other strongly in a naive way, where they think their love interest can cure all their problems, and so we got a insta-lovey relationship with no actual communication. it's a trope that is often really harmful, and made me a tad bit uncomfortable.
- otherwise; this book just lacked the spark everyone promised me? 2015-2016 gaby read a lot of mental health and trauma books, so maybe this book just slipped through the cracks for me? this book talks about mental health and grief in a thoughtful and meaningful way, but it's not really anything i haven't heard before. nothing ground breaking, nothing special, and nothing that makes me feel the need to rate it any higher than i have.
