Review | Heidi Dischler
Oh my gosh, this is exactly the wholesome YA content that I needed in my life! Amelia Unabridged is an unflinchingly honest story about a girl who lost her best friend, and somehow along the way, lost herself. The personality of this book was so huge that I often found myself laughing along with the characters.
Just to start with the setting, was that bookstore not the place that bookworms dream about? It was so magical and fun and so many things that I can’t even begin to put into words. Please take me there and never make me leave.
The plot development felt so realistic, which just made the characters that much more lovable. I felt so invested and honestly shocked at how much I loved this book. Not because it is a type of book I wouldn’t read (I read books like this all the time), but because of how well-written it really was.
I don’t want to give spoilers for this novel because most of it is just learning about Amelia and Nolan’s life as they learn about it as well. Giving spoilers would just ruin how honest and real it feels.
Overall, even though this is a short review, I give this book all the stars (and whales) in the sky. For the wholesome YA content. For the romance. For the true friendships. For the furry sidekick. For still being uplifting even while dealing with grief. For everything unabridged.
