Book Review- Reconstructing Amelia

My most recent read. I started it at work on a Saturday, and was able to finish it by the next Thursday by reading when things got slow. Such an amazing read! It's easy to follow, not super stressful or scary even though it's a mystery.

Reconstructing Amelia is about a mother who gets a phone call that she needs to pick her daughter up from school because she's been suspended for cheating. By the time Kate gets to her daughters school though, she finds that her daughter has allegedly jumped off the roof of the building and is dead. Amelia's death is ruled a suicide. 

A month later Kate gets a text from a blocked number saying Amelia didn't jump. This starts her off on a journey to find out what really happened. She finds a world full of secrets, lies, a club gone wrong. The rest of the book is constructed with texts, pieces written by Amelia herself, and the investigation.

The book kept me guessing. I didn't know who dunnit or if anyone had until the last chapter. I didn't see it coming, but the ending was so believable, it made so much sense. I really enjoyed Reconstructing Amelia and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a good relaxing read. That sounds so wrong considering a girl is dead but I was relaxed the entire time reading and the story kept me hooked. 

And if you happen to have three pages left, the store is closing and you just need to know what happened, the answer is not on google spoilers. People really don't know how to give a good spoiler. But I'd be happy to tell you what happens if you find yourself in that situation.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...
I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
