Amelia, If Only by Becky Albertalli
4.0
lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

This concept felt similar to "I was born for this" by Alice Oseman, and i loved that one

I usually love Becky Albertalli books, and this gave me that same lighthearted, fun feeling, but i was a bit disappointed in a few things: 

-this could have been longer

-Amelia seemed a bit selfish and annoying at first, but the annoying part was explained later, and it made sense that humour is a way she copes with more serious topics

-The gen-z slang and banter was a bit too much for me, sometimes it was hard to understand

-The meeting with Walter was a little underwhelming

-I have problem with only using jealousy as a tool to show that people like each other, and not showing their actual chemistry or interactions

-I wanted more of Mark and Walter!!
