The Amanda Project by Stella Lennon


3/5 Stars

B&N:


Amanda Valentino changed everything.

Callie Leary has exactly one thing, and one thing only, in common with Nia Rivera and Hal Bennett: They were each chosen by Amanda to be her guide. When Amanda arrived at Endeavor High, she told Callie she moves around a lot and always picks one person to help her navigate the choppy waters of a new school. Why did Amanda lie?

Following a course that they suspect Amanda deliberately plotted, Callie, Nia, and Hal piece together some cryptic clues. But they find more questions than answers and quickly realize that before they can figure out what happened to Amanda—the girl who changed their lives—they'll need to solve the most important mystery of all: Who is Amanda Valentino?

My Review:

Just from reading what the book was about, I found myself thinking it sounded rather similar to Thirteen Reasons Why(AMAZING BOOK!). As I started reading it, I realized yes, it has some similarities, but it was a lot less edgy. The story was good. I liked how these three totally different teens end up coming together and realizing things about both each other and themselves.

It says it's going to be a series. I'll probably read the rest just to see what they add to it and if things that were left unanswered become answered.
