Title: Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone
Author: Kat Rosenfield
Pages: 304
Becca has always longed to break free from her small, backwater hometown. But the discovery of an unidentified dead girl on the side of a dirt road sends the town--and Becca--into a tailspin. Unable to make sense of the violence of the outside world creeping into her backyard, Becca finds herself retreating inward, paralyzed from moving forward for the first time in her life.Short chapters detailing the last days of Amelia Anne Richardson's life are intercut with Becca's own summer as the parallel stories of two young women struggling with self-identity and relationships on the edge twist the reader closer and closer to the truth about Amelia's death.
My Rating:✰✰
I went into this book,
thinking that it was going to be a good thriller, but found myself not enjoying
it. It was hard for me to continue and it lacked in many areas.
My biggest problem with this book was the way it was written. When I first started it, I actually liked the way it was written with perfect sentences but after a while I found it being dragged and repetitive. The sentences were very long and too descriptive for me and took up a lot of the book.
Another thing that was confusing was what was actually happening in the story. There was so much unnecessary information and details used that made it quite boring. I was also confused by what was going and when it was taking place. This book was just one big confusion that never really stated what was happening.
The point of views also was strange since it kept changing within a chapter. I didn't mind the changing POV but the writing in general was too much. at some parts the time also changed which made it more confusing.
I didn't find any connections with the characters and felt that they were kind of flat. The plot also felt kind of flat with nothing happened.
---
It did not surprised me that James killed her. But it was very confusing on how he did so.
This book was a big disappointment for me but I wouldn't stop others from reading it.
