Amelia and Riley have transferred to Ashbury for their final year of school, and everyone is completely obsessed with them.

And some of them are dangerous to share. As Riley starts to lose his grip on Amelia, the repercussions affect everyone around them.

My Thoughts
After reading the blurb of Dreaming of Amelia I was like WOW. It sounded so good! So, now that I've finished reading it I wouldn't say it was fantastic but it was really good.
I must day that the style of writing and the way Moriarty has presented her book is fantastic. It is so very unique. I don't see that kind of style in almost anywhere!
I loved how Riley and Amelia were almost sounded like celebrities. There were different accounts of how students at Ashbury High thought about them in the form of essays. Weird right? No, it was a clever was of portraying how people thought of Riley and Amelia.
Although, I must say there was no real action in the book. Nothing really big happened. Yet, it was still enjoyable to read.
Dreaming of Amelia is definitely different from many other YA books. That's what makes it a fun to indulge in. A pleasurable read.

Hmmmm, pity not much happened, I was thinking on reading this but I don't think I will now. Great review!
ReplyDeleteyour reviews are great! :D
ReplyDeleteThis sounds rather interesting and different, though I wonder how easy it is to read. 578 pages and not much action?? Though I suppose the writing could be very good and thus make it very easily readable. I like the sound of using essays to show others' opinions of the two main characters! A rather original idea!
ReplyDeleteSounds like this maybe a relaxing read. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteNo action!?
ReplyDeleteAhhh!
Awesome review though!:D
