Amelia Westlake by Erin Gough
4.0
I was very happy with this book.
It was a cute little relationship that is formed over the want to take down their backwards all-girls school through the hoax of a girl and various 'pranks'. The slow-burn of their relationship was painful but very much worth it in the end.
I was so glad that I found a good LGBT+ book set in Australia (haven't some across many of those) and the story didn't let me down. It was funny how much of real life I could see in this book - State rivalry, different city names being mentioned - I very rarely seem to come across books set in Australia that are genuinely good.
The characters were written so well they almost felt real. I could compare each and every character to a person I know at school in real life. Harriet, Will, Liz and unfortunately, Coach Hadley. Majority of the teachers in this book really anger me and it pisses me off how terrible the morals and priorities of the school are.
I personally think that this book was written quite well.
There's a development to the story then entire way through and I don't think that there was any stand-stills in the plot. I think that the ending could have been written better - there was a time jump (sort of) and it was sort of unclear, for me.
It was the genre of book that I like and I very much enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend.
