Another old book I found while cleaning out my old bedroom. I think this was mine in middle school, even though the story itself was written the year I was born!
By today's standards, this would be considered completely gross since Amelia is 16 (but looks older) and is in love with a chiropractor, but to be fair the doctor has no idea of her real age and starts hanging out with her. Amelia also falsifies her age on medical documents, which by today's standards, is complete fraud but then again this is all fantasy. It's not terrible, but also not that memorable a story.

I was at my school library, searching for an interesting-adorable-englishbook to read.
This book was on (in inventory-shelves). The title was attracted me, cute, and somehow awesome lol.
So i took it, and look at the cover. Hemm, nice. Young adult novel?
Signed. I borrowed it.
The story of Amelia Amherst *dmn, i love her name*, 16 years old only daughter with her love life with her 26-years old chiropractor.
This is differences of Indonesia's story and the other. The story about family is always the other problems in the whole story. Not always the story of Amelia.
In this story, even it published in 1985 i feel the story is not-really-that-in80s.
If i didn't look at the date published, maybe i can say, this story was in 90s or 2000s?
I love the way Mary telling how Amelia express and the other character. So nothing difference from 80s teenager with us now lol.
We are all same in love, how to attract other people. And letting go of them, and other.
We are such a fool when we are in love. We can't even telling how supposed we be, and we become fake to be what they want.
I love this book, surely. All story in it, about Cynthia, Eliot and Eliza, Grand aunt Freda, Jane, Mr. G, lol. And Matthew Caswell of course :)
Oh i wish Matthew was really in love with Amelia lol.
Good books anyway
