Amelia Unabridged
by Ashley Schumacher
Once you pick this one up, you won't want to put it down.
This is the perfect book for bookworms and anyone who loves stories.
Amelia and her best (and only) friend Jenna planned to go to college together, to take all the same basic courses and electives together, and to start their adult lives together. Jenna had the plan all detailed out on huge poster board. She was always the organized one, the one so certain of where she needed to go in life and how to get there.
But then, after a freak car accident, suddenly Jenna is gone and Amelia is unanchored.
Did she ever know what she wanted to do with herself? Were Jenna's plans really her plans to? And how else is she supposed to hang onto Jenna if she doesn't follow their life plan. Jenna's parents cling to Amelia with such ferocity that she doesn't know how to move on or even if she wants to. Jenna's parents have already lost their daughter and she doesn't want to hurt them by revealing how uncertain she is in life.
But just a few days after Jenna's funeral a strange package arrives for Amelia at the local bookstore. She's certain it's from Jenna somehow. So Amelia goes to the original bookstore from where this impossible book originates.
There, just maybe she'll find answers. Just maybe she'll find friends. Just maybe she'll meet others who teach her how to be broken and beautiful at the same time. Just maybe she'll find herself.
But then what?
If she does find a dream for herself, how can she keep it when her life is already planned out and deviating from that plan would mean starting a new story when all she wants is to return to how her story should have been?
The characters in this book are sheer perfection - every last one of them. You'll fall in love with Amelia, Jenna, Alex, Nolan, Val, Jenna's parents, even the brain damaged dog.
Pick this one up. You'll be glad you did.
