Smith </b> <p/>Eighteen-year-old Amelia Griffin is obsessed with the famous Orman Chronicles, written by the young and reclusive prodigy N. E. Endsley. They're the books that brought her and her best friend Jenna together after Amelia's father left and her family imploded. So when Amelia and Jenna get the opportunity to attend a book festival with Endsley in attendance, Amelia is ecstatic. It's the perfect way to start off their last summer before college. <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>Ashley Schumacher's devastating and beautiful debut, <i>Amelia Unabridged</i>, is about finding hope and strength within yourself, and maybe, just maybe, falling in love while you do it.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>* An OKLAHOMAN Bestseller * <p/>* A Spring 2021 Indie Next Pick *</b><br><b><br>BOOK RIOT, </b> "Winter 2021 YA Books for Your TBR" <p/><b>BUZZFEED, </b>17 YA Books That Will Make You Shed a Tear Every Time <p/><b>GOODREADS, </b> "Most Anticipated YA Titles of 2021" <p/><b>CULTURESS, </b> "21 YA Book Releases We Can't Wait to Read in 2021" <p/><b>GOODREADS, </b> 30 New Reads for Very Bookish People <p/><b></b>Why Ted Lasso fans will love it: If you love Ted and Rebecca scenes, you'll love this. - <b>BUZZFEED</b>, <b> 19 Books That Ted Lasso Fans Will Adore</b> <p/>Heart-wrenching in its raw emotion and sadness, Ashley Schumacher writes a story so captivating it will leave her readers breathless and gasping for air... - <b>DIXON INDEPENDENT VOICE</b> <p/>Ashley Schumacher's debut novel <i>Amelia Unabridged </i>gently, yet fearlessly, explores the debilitating nature of grief and trying to find one's place in the universe....Perhaps you just lost a loved one or experienced some kind of tragedy that has left you spinning.
