Amelia, If Only by Becky Albertalli
2.0
lighthearted reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

this was a really disappointing read.

Amelia was just really annoying and the romance was so forced and rushed at the end.

the humour also felt incredibly forced. often it was funny the first mention, but then it just kept going and going and was just cringe. for example MILFs were referred to over and over, and Amelia kept giving everyone all these random nicknames (eg. Natatronica, natalorica, etc). 

I did like Zora and the Imogen and Tessa cameos though.
