You won't put it down
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 8 years ago
This book spoke to me on so many different levels. It explores mental health, death, drugs, friendship, love, and the circus. I would recommend it to everyone! The author's character descriptions are amazing, that's what hooked me. You will feel like you've known Faith aka Annabelle your whole life.
Don't Miss "Wonder When You'll Miss Me"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
In this brave and honest novel, Amanda Davis exposes the underbelly of the all-American obsession with popularity. Faith Buckle, overweight and lacking in high-school popularity, pays a horrible price for that crime; this will eventually land her in the circus. In less sure hands, this material could devolve into the land of 'just another American girl interrupted story.' But that's not what happens here. Ms. Davis's work is so consistently sensitive, funny, sad and occasionally horrifying - always nailing the appropriate emotional mark - that readers will read this book rooting for its unusual heroine, while at the same time rooting for the author to write more books.

"Davis has created a lucid, compelling page-turner that defies categorization. This is a stunning novel and Faith's story is uncomfortably tragic, brutally honest and beautifully rendered. It is about pain and rebirth and the reality behind all illusions. WONDER WHEN YOU'LL MISS ME is, quite simply, a great novel." --- Reviewed by Sarah Rachel Egelman
A pageturner with real heart.

I am astonished at the quality of Amanda Davis's prose. I'm overwhelmed by the at once harrowing and compelling story. I'm so excited that I found this young writer at the beginning of what is destined to be a remarkable career.You can read the PW excerpt for the plot summary. What I want to tell you is that you must buy this book.
