The Plan Whitney Dineen 271 pages
Amelia is free-spirited, independent, and carefree - at least on the outside. Amelia feels like she's been living a half-life, weighed down by anxiety from something that happened to her as a child. She is set in her ways, her routines, and her small-town life - until her ultimate celebrity crush, music star Huck Wiley - shows up in Creek Water with his ten-year-old daughter. The two push Amelia to live a little more adventurously and learn what her life could be.
This third installment of the Creek Water series missed the mark for me. It was still nice to feel the familiarity with the characters in this world, but I had a lot of trouble getting behind this one.
I loved Amelia and Maggie finding each other - having another person understand their anxieties and being there for one another. Their relationship was great, and Huck's bond with his daughter made him all the more attractive as a love interest.
Something about Amelia felt forced - maybe its because the previous two books centered around girls who had been living in New York City - but the southern charm felt over the top and awkward here.
I found that I didn't really like Amelia - she overreacted and jumped to conclusions way too quickly and came across as a bit crazy. I spent a lot of time being confused as to why she was upset or felt like Huck owed her more than he was giving her.
Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review!
