Reconstructing Amelia by Kinberly McCreight This was an OK book - not nearly as good as it could have been. Amelia is a high school girl with all the peer pressure that goes along with it. She is raised by a single mother with whom she appears to have a good relationship. The mother is beyond puzzled when Amelia is found after she apparently jumped from the roof of the school. The story goes back and forth between current and past times painting the picture of what was going on in Amelia's life before that day and what her mom is going through to try to prove that Amelia did not commit suicide. I liked the plot, just not into the writing style or how the story developed. At times I felt like I was reading a Young Adult book, but then again, it wasn't. Some of the story was unbelievable too and some I couldn't understand how they fit. Not one of my favorites, but I did read it all. The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes by Diane Chamberlain This is the story
Here's my monthly impressions of books I've read - and occasionally other thoughts.
