And neither can Delia—at least a first. But as Amandine drags Delia down into her crazy world of fantasy and games, Delia begins to see the cracks in the character that is Amandine. She begins to see her for what she truly is—damaged and disturbed. Amandine is a product of an unstable environment, one that begins to frighten Delia away. But when Delia finally decides to distance herself from Amandine, it is then that the true Amandine rears her ugly head. Now Delia must face her fears and stand strong as the world she and Amandine have built up around them comes crashing down. Amandine is a story like no other, addressing everyday tween issues while juxtaposing them with serious mental and personality disorders.
