In a heartbeat, everything goes horribly wrong. When Jenna gets a chance to meet the author and Amelia doesn’t, the two have a blowout fight like they’ve never experienced. And before Amelia has a chance to mend things, Jenna is killed in a freak car accident. Grief-stricken, and without her best friend to guide her, Amelia questions everything she had planned for the future.
When a mysterious, rare edition of the Orman Chronicles arrives, Amelia is convinced that it somehow came from Jenna. Tracking the book to an obscure but enchanting bookstore in Michigan, Amelia is shocked to find herself face-to-face with the enigmatic and handsome N. E. Endsley himself, the reason for Amelia’s and Jenna’s fight and perhaps the clue to what Jenna wanted to tell her all along.
Ashley Schumacher's devastating and beautiful debut, Amelia Unabridged, is about finding hope and strength within yourself, and maybe, just maybe, falling in love while you do it.
Although I enjoyed the writing, the characters and the storyline, I felt like everything was far too rushed and I couldn't really enjoy it as a whole because of that.
Amelia's grief felt very real, as did Jenna's parents' way of dealing with it. I absolutely loved Alex and I want one of my own, please. I also want to live in Val's for a while, if she's taking in borders.
But it was just too quick. Within two of three days Nolan completely trusted Amelia and was all the way out of his shell. Granted, there was some kind of completely unexplained magic thing going on and they went through a traumatic experience together, but still, it was far too fast for that kind of thing. In my opinion, anyway.
Great writing style, great storyline, but hopefully Ashley will ease up on the pace of everything next time. I'll definitely be giving it a try to see.
Amelia Unabridged publishes on the 1st March, 2021.
