On the whole, if I had to sum up Reconstructing Amelia in one word, the word I would use is "average." The plot, characters, and writing style were all simply alright: not outstanding enough to really impress me, but not bad enough to make the read unenjoyable on the whole. Indeed, the characterizat...

Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight is one of those books that parents of teenagers will read and think, could this possibly be happening in my child's life or is it all just hype. "Do you really know whats going on inside your daughter's head" What a brilliant p...
I'd go 3.5 for this one. I enjoyed the beginning and progressively liked it less as it went. There we're a lot of far-fetched connections that pushed the limit of my ability to suspend disbelief. The best part of the book for me was Amelia's POV. That kept me hanging on through all the stuff I didn'...

It isn't a spoiler to say that Amelia commits suicide in the beginning of this novel. At least according to Grace Hall, her exclusive private school. Her mom, Kate doesn't want to believe that her daughter committed suicide but the school and the detective on the case convince her that it's the trut...
This is what would happen if Scandal and Gossip Girl hooked up and had a love child. Basically there were so many little events that slowly formed and created a perfect storm that culminated in this poor girl's demise. There were plenty of twists and big reveals, where having secrets definitely re...
As many other reviewers have said - this book was fine. I more or less enjoyed reading it, and throughout, I was interested to find out what actually did happen to Amelia, as well as how all the other seemingly random plot lines would be tied up. And then came the end, where we realize that the se...
Wow, what a GREAT book. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Kate gets a call from Amelia's school that she has been suspended for cheating and can she please come and pick her up. An hour and 15 minutes later, Kate gets to the school only to find her daughter has jumped off the school roof and killed her...
