Amelia, If Only

Rainbow Roadtrip

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

Amelia if Only, ist ein wirklich schöner YA Roman, mit einer starken bi Protagonistin und fast durchweg queeren Nebencharaktern. Es startet ein wenig langsam, aber ab der Hälfte überschlagen sich die Ereignisse und man möchte das Buch nicht mehr aus der Hand legen. Amelia findet auf dem Roadtrip zu einem Meet & Greet ihres Lieblingsyoutubers mehr über sich selbst heraus als erhofft. Eine Story mit tollem Humor, festen Freundschaftsbanden und natürlich der Liebe.

A beautiful and heartwarming queer romance

Bewertet: eBook (ePUB 3)

"Amelia If Only" by Becky Albertalli is a tender and emotional coming-of-age story that perfectly combines the complexity of teenage emotions with the warmth of an exciting teenage romance. Amelia has always been obsessed with one specific Youtuber who happens to host a meet and greet not to far away from Amelia's hometown. She uses all her persuasion skills to convince her friend group to take one last roadtrip before everyone goes off the college. During the whole chaos of meeting her favourite YouTuber and her uncertain future Amelia just has to many emotions at once, slowly she realized that she feels butterflies for a certain someone. As always, Albertalli’s writing is filled with wit, charm, and relatable characters, but this book also goes deeper, exploring themes of self-identity, the struggle between who we are and who we want to be, and the tension of living up to other people’s expectations. Becky Albertalli has once again created a relatable, heartwarming tale that blends humor, romance, and real emotional depth. I really enjoyed following Amelia's Journey and spotting some characters from the first book. A huge recommondation for fans of contemporary YA who are looking for a story that feels real and meaningful with a lot of humor.
