Amelia, If Only by Becky Albertalli
3.75
lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

Really enjoying my Becky Albertalli streak. Amelia is another fun story. I am coming of my reread of my favourite Becky Albertalli book though (Imogen, Obviously) so that might influence my rating a little.

Amelia, If Only is a fun, queer YA contemporary which features a lovely queer friend group, online culture and a roadtrip. I loved the online culture elements. As well as the usual elements I expect from a Becky Albertalli book: characters who you love and a focus on friendship.

I spotted Amelia's crush on Natalie so soon. If only Amelia noticed it sooner herself 😉😉 It was fun. Her obsession with Claire became a bit nonsensical towards the end but honestly I didn't mind it that much.


All in all, it's a lovely read!
