Book Analysis: Our Only May Amelia

84 Words1 Page

This particular genre has never been my favorite but I did notice that these books have a main character in which the book is centered around. I have to admit that the books I read this week were quite entertaining. I never thought about how a character could influence a book with this type of genre but can certainly understand what you’re saying. Thank you for sharing your book analysis and agree that the book Our Only May Amelia sounds liberating for other girls.
