4.5 stars. Wow. Loved this book, listened to the audio book and the narrator was fantastic. I know the characters aren't super likable but they are very well written. Thought the story was excellent from beginning to end.

This review and others are posted at Read, Rinse, Repeat.We learn in the opening pages of Reconstructing Amelia that fifteen year-old Amelia fell to her death from the roof of her Brooklyn prep school, an action ruled a suicide. Even at this early point, the moment hits hard when Amelia's mother sh...
