Summary
Do you really want to know what’s going on inside your daughter’s head? Single mother Kate Baron is in the meeting of her career when she is interrupted by a telephone call. Her daughter Amelia has just been suspended from her exclusive school. When Kate eventually arrives an hour later, she hears the news that no mother ever wants to hear.
A grieving Kate can't accept that her daughter would kill herself. But she soon discovers she didn't know Amelia quite as well as she thought. Then Kate receives an anonymous text saying simply: Amelia didn’t jump. And so begins an investigation which takes her deep into Amelia's private world, into her journals, her email account and into the mind of a troubled young girl.

Beautifully written...
Tears will be shed whilst listening to this book. Phenomenally written and beautifully read. Kimberley McCreight is ridiculously talented at portraying raw emotion and truly making you feel a character's pain.

reconstructing amelia
An excellent performance and works so well on audible with the voices of different events telling the story of what happened in the days leading up to Amelias death. A very fast paced story with some unexpected revelations about characters in the story.

Plot twister
A great investigative and emotional story. Lots of twists and turns along the way that keep you guessing as to how it happened and who was responsible.

do you know your child?
Any additional comments?
kate thought she knew Amelia, they could talk about anything, until amelila committed suicide. kate couldn't understand why Amelia could do such a thing and she not know the reason why. she desperately needs to know the reason why.
the story is told in the first person by kate and Amelia and goes back and forth in time.
both of these characters were well written to the point you felt sorry for them both. it is an emotionally charged book where secrets are revealed at the end.
an enjoyable listen.

just Buy It - And Keep Guessing Right To the End
Thoroughly enjoyed. It just kept giving and pulling you through until the end. A compelling insight into the complicated world of our teenagers today and the psyche that leads them to take the wrong turns that as adults we just don't understand.

gripping from start to finish!
I got this on a whim in the sale, and wow it exceeded all of my expectations! An eclectic mixture of crime thriller, whodunnit, mean girls teen fiction and gossip girl style column ... it works perfectly! Narration was brilliant and I was captured in the first chapter. The characters really came to life, it was a real page turner. I grieved with the mother and felt the emotional turmoil of her teenage daughter. I was kept on tenterhooks right up until the end! fantastic!!!
