Description

The only thing sixteen-year-old Amelia Anderson loves more than movies is her older brother, Toby, a larger-than-life force, as popular with the cheerleaders as with the stoners. Amelia, on the other hand, is addicted to Netflix and afraid to drive. But she doesn't mind. She's happy playing the sidekick in the movie version of Toby's life. But when a devastating event takes Toby out of the picture, Amelia's left without a star. Ready or not, she has to step into her own spotlight. It's time to get out of her head, get off of Netflix, and get behind the camera-and the wheel. This whip-smart, heart-wrenching debut YA novel about first love, first loss, and filmmaking will delight fans of Jandy Nelson and Jennifer Niven.

About the Author
Emily Wunsch is a writer living in Lebanon, NH, with her husband and two daughters. She's written movie reviews for The Washington Free Press, worked in a used bookstore, taught college-level writing, and published short fiction and journalism in a variety of publications including The Best of Bellevue Literary Review. She has an M.F.A. in creative writing from Brooklyn College. In the movie version of her life she would like to be played by Tina Fey, with Mark Ruffalo playing her husband, even though she looks nothing like Tina and her husband looks nothing like Mark.

Reviews

**STARRED REVIEW**

"With a memorable, full-of-feeling narrator at its helm, this moving exploration of the effects of mental illness and a family's new normal marks Wunsch as a writer to watch."

* Publishers Weekly *
Told in the first person, this narrative about a complex sibling relationship will resonate with readers. * School Library Journal *
Wunsch's debut offers a sometimes heartbreaking but ultimately hopeful portrait of a relationship that has changed forever but is still strong. * Booklist *

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
