Love You Hate You Miss You


Its been seventy-five days. Amy's sick of her parents suddenly taking an interest in her. And she's really sick of people asking her about Julia. Julia's gone, and Amy doesn't want to talk about it. No one knew Julia like she did. No one gets what life is without her.

No one understands what it's like to know that it's all your fault.

Amy's shrink thinks she should keep a journal but instead, Amy starts writing letters to Julia. And as she writes letter after letter, she begins to realize that the past holds its own secrets--and that the present deserves a chance.

An emotional, but believable journey of Amy as she learns way too young how to live with, get to know, and like herself at age 16 after a tragedy that involves drugs and alcohol.  I loved Patrick and want to know what happened to him!  I read this gem in one sitting and have come to love Elizabeth Scott's novels.

Had trouble reading your thoughts on the book (text color was too light), but the book still sounds really good!
