The Ballad of Ami Miles

by Kristy Dallas Alley

[Joni Reads]

This book almost reminds me of The Forest of Hands and Teeth- minus the zombies.

I really felt invested in the story of Ami and cared about her story.

She was very naive but that was expected due to how she was raised. The book is about her growing up in a cult and escaping and breaking free after her grandfather arranges a marriage for her with a man old enough to be her father.

Ami leaves and goes in search of her mother who left the family when Ami was a baby.

She finds much more than she knew she was looking for and I loved seeing how Ami developed and grew throughout the course of the story.

This is easy to read in one sitting and I finished it in one day.

Definitely recommend.
