Amelia Unabridged
by Ashley Schumacher
When Amelia's dad leaves her and her mom, they are both adrift. But when Jenna finds Amelia outside a book store, their friendship is cemented. Jenna's family is affluent and immediately includes Amelia like she's one of the family. Amelia is a big reader and both she and Jenna bond over a mutual love of a fantasy series written by a boy only a year older than they are. So, when they graduate high school, they plan a short trip to a convention to meet the author. Sadly, he has to cancel and Amelia doesn't get to meet him. Less than a week later, while on a trip to Ireland, Jenna dies in a car crash and Amelia is bereft. But then she gets a mysterious special edition of her favorite book in the mail. But who sent it?
There were parts of this I liked a lot. But overall, I felt it was really overdone with bad pacing. Insta-love like this, especially between kids so young is super hard for me to believe. I'm sure it happens, but you don't change your entire life because you're in love with the boy you met four days ago. Like another reviewer said, I thought it would have made a better story with Amelia and Nolan as friends who help each other in their grief. But the way this one played out was ridiculous.
