I am reviewing a copy of Amelia Unabridged through St. Martin’s Press/Wednesday Books and Netgalley:

Amelia. Griffin is eighteen and obsessed with the Orman Chronicles. The series of books written by the young and reclusive prodigy N. E. Endsley. These are the books that brought Amelia and her best friend Jenna together after Amelia’s father left and her family imploded. When Amelia and Jenna are given the chance to attend attend a book festival with Endsley in attendance, Amelia is beyond excited about the opportunity. She feels this is the perfect way to spend the summer before she starts college.

In an instant though everything goes horribly wrong. Jenna gets to meet N.E Endsley and Jenna doesn’t , causing them to have a fight unlike any they had before. Before Amelia can mend things, Amelia receives a call from Jenna’s Mother telling her that Jenna was killed in a car accident. Amelia finds herself feeling guilty, grief stricken and questioning everything she had planned for college. Life looks different with her best friend.
