This was such a refreshing palate cleanser after my last read. I needed a heroine like Amelia, who is complicated, flawed, and most importantly, kind — a good person who, in the face of trauma, struggled in a very human way. I loved watching her reclaim herself. I guessed the twist earlyish, but enjoyed Amelia's journey getting there. Also, this one gets extra points for Stitch, the reluctant, most badass service dog. My only really complaint is that idk why she kept letting people pet him and why he was never wearing a vest!
