Not About a Boy
Euphoria meets Girl in Pieces in this coming-of-age story of a girl trying to put a grief-stricken past behind her, only to be startled by the discovery of a long-lost sister who puts into question everything she thought she knew.
Amélie Cœur has never known what it truly means to be happy.
She thought she’d found happiness once, in a love that ended in tragedy and nearly sent her over the edge. Now, at seventeen, Mel is beginning to piece her life back together. Under the supervision of Laurelle Child Services, the exclusive foster care agency that raised her, Mel is sober and living with a new family among Manhattan’s elite. It’s her last chance at adoption before she ages out of the system and she promised, this time, she’ll try.
But a casual relationship with a boy is turning into something she never intended for it to be, causing small cracks in her carefully constructed walls. Then the sister she has no memory of contacts Mel, unearthing complicated feelings about the past and what could have been.
As the anniversary of the worst day of her life approaches, Mel must weather the rising tides of grief and depression before she loses herself, and those close to her, all over again.

3/5 ⭐️
- This is a coming of age story that is so needed because the characters go through real hardships in this story. So often you read stories about high schoolers that are fluffy and fun which is great because those are needed too, but it’s tough to find books set in high school where the characters are really struggling. My younger self would have really resonated with these characters.
- The pacing of the story wasn’t as fast paced as I usually read. If you enjoy descriptive poetic writing, you’ll love this book. That’s not my favorite style of writing so I found myself wanting to skim the pages at time.
- The cover is gorgeous and really portrays the depth you feel in this story! The characters go THROUGH IT. I feel like everyone reading this will relate to the story in some way.

From the gorgeous cover art to the book being described as Euphoria meets Girl in Pieces has me so STOKED to read this! ♥️

When I was 19, I went through a breakup that nearly destroyed me. I stopped eating, I stopped engaging, I was so sad all the time that even just going through the motions was more energy than I could muster. The thing was, it wasn’t about my breakup, not really. That was just the final straw, the catalyst of dealing with all the emotions and thoughts that had always been present. It was this moment that forced me to deal with everything I felt, to know that change was necessary, to acknowledge those thoughts and to learn how to manage them.
In Not About a Boy, Hollis pulls back the curtain on all those thoughts and raw emotions. Because it’s “not about a boy.” It’s about being okay existing, about feeling right in your own skin, about being willing to try knowing failure is an option.
This story was so beautifully and devastatingly written. There’s experiences everyone can relate to and some that will resonate with only a select few. I wish I’d had stories like this during that time in my life, so I could know I was not alone, and I hope it finds the readers who need to hear that everything will be okay.
Thank you to Myah Hollis for putting words to all those nameless feelings and emotions. For sharing Mel’s story with all of us. I cannot recommend this remarkable debut enough!

Staggeringly honest and emotionally-complex, NOT ABOUT A BOY paints a portrait of a girl on the cusp of adulthood with tenderness and tenacity.
Deftly intertwining lyrical prose and searing wit, Hollis writes for the girls who've been lost and understand the grueling task of finding oneself all over again.

“it was a secret place. it wasn’t but it was. no one was there at that hour. there was no reason to be because we were there, and it must have been made for us. i called it eden, and like its namesake, i knew it couldn’t last. i knew there’d come a day when i could never go back. but for now, we’d found paradise.”

I had high expectations of this book, however from the top the story is very slow. I hoped the pace would go up, but it didn't. There are lots of names and things going on, making it hard to define a red line in the story.
I did like the realization part in part two the best, but overall I felt like the storyline was too slow paced and blunt. Therefore I give this a 2 star rating

Yup. This was just as beautiful as I knew it would be 💙
Not About a Boy is just as it’s title states. It’s a YA coming of self novel focused on a complex and loveable character named Mel as she navigates love, loss, mental health, friendship, family, and the knowledge of who she is and what she deserves.
I wanted nothing but the best for Mel and every single soul she encountered- it’s very rare that I love every character in a book 😅

This was an ok read for me. Definitely deals with some hard topics, but for me they were just told in such a blunt way that I couldn't really muster up much emotion for the characters.

“Amelie, it was never about a boy”
I really enjoyed this book! Amelie was a very complex character who truly was trying her best not to burden everyone, but in the process ended up hurting herself and others around her. Extremely well written, I truly felt like I was experiencing her POV first-hand. Great debut from this author and great first read of the year.

I. 👏 LOVED. 👏 THIS. 👏 BOOK.👏
1000% euphoria vibes. Hayden is SWOON. But this book IS NOT ABOUT A BOY. I laughed, I cried. In fact Myah Hollis has this incredible ability to write lines that make you want to laugh and cry at the same time.
This book also had some elements which reminded me of It's Kind Of A Funny Story, which was an all time favorite of mine for many years.
A must read of 2024. Be ready for an emotional gut punch. Bring tissues and have ur HEA rom com ready to read afterwards.

This book was everything. The writing was absolutely beautiful. I need a physical copy, so that I can keep my favorite quotes forever. It’s been a while since I've read a book with such great character development. I love Amélie so much and I truly wish she was real so that I could give her a hug🥺 Babygirl went through it, but I’m so glad I had the privilege of being apart of her journey. I can’t wait to recommend this book to everyone I know🫶🏽

This book was so refreshing and poetic. I loved reading this book about a black girl who dealt with addition, grief and love. I think for Mel moving to a new city and being with a new family was good but she tried to self-heal when she hadn't processed so much in her life and it backfired. Hayden specifically dealt with the most neglect and I'm happy there was a resolution in their relationship. I wish there wasn't so many secondary characters. I've shared some of my favorite quotes below.
"I need to be traumatized in the exact same way no less than three times for me to modify my behavior."
"He’s like glass. Clear all the way through. Light reflecting. This is only problematic when I catch my reflection in his glow."
"That me still lives too close to the surface of my body, inextricably nestled between skin and muscle. The girl who was in so much pain that she sought distraction or relief at any cost. This new me is fragile. I built her from nothing. From scraps. I moved to New York to create the life I could never have in Connecticut, but you can’t outrun yourself. It takes more effort than I have some days to keep the darker parts of me from waking."
"I imagine that, for Debra, being my case manager must feel like being a car salesman trying to get that shitty old Ford Focus off her lot. It’s particularly frustrating because Laurelle Child Services is the Bentley dealership of private adoption agencies, so why is the Ford even there? Do they expect her to sell it? In this economy?"
"Depression isn’t just isolating. It’s erosive. It destroys beautiful things. Feeds off the worst parts of you. For me, it flips on like a switch and builds until I can’t see anyone around me anymore. When it ends, I have to tend to all the things I’ve neglected. The people who feel abandoned by me and the responsibilities I’ve failed to prioritize. It’s exhausting"
"My beautiful, smart, funny friend. Going full Interpol over a boy who won’t even cross the Brooklyn Bridge for her. A tragedy."

"By the time I was fifteen, I’d let them down more times than I could count. It wasn’t enough to be accepted. I wanted to be understood. I wanted someone to see how hard I was trying and tell me it wasn’t all me. That I was this way due to a series of factors and circumstances, not all of which were within my control. There was one person who understood me completely, but it came at a cost I couldn’t afford to pay. When I was sixteen, I wanted to disappear. I learned there’s an art to it, and I became a master. It took everything they had to reach into the darkness and pull me out. And now, at seventeen, I want peace."
This was a tender, heart-wrenching coming-of-age tale about Amélie, who is 17, sober, grieving, in a situation-ship with a boy named Hayden, and navigating her last hurrah in hopefully getting adopted before she "ages out" of the foster care system. She goes to therapy, confronts challenging feelings about both her past and present, and on top of all this, her long-lost sister who she does not remember comes back into her life.
I was so incredibly moved by this story, and I read it in one night because I was immediately quite invested in and cared for Amélie, who is clearly feeling a bit defeated and distrustful of those around her. I can only imagine how let down and abandoned she felt, and Myah Hollis illustrates such a vividly poignant picture of the both sadness and malaise that Amélie ebbs in and out of.
There's a layer of devastation that Amélie comes to terms with towards the end of the novel, and I felt so much for her. To feel as if you have never had control or as if you never stood a chance, and then to have that be confirmed and spoken aloud? Woof. That f^&%ing cuts deep. I loved the ending though, and I would easily watch this if it was optioned and adapted for a streaming film.
Quotations that stood out to me:
Richards gave me my first journal when I was seven. He said the least I could do if I wouldn’t talk to him was talk to myself. It did help, but it made me anxious to expel my thoughts onto a page that anyone could stumble upon. I’d fill notebooks only to bury them in the bottom of trash cans, pages ripped from their binding. Eventually, I stopped writing altogether.
Children know when they’re supposed to be the tape holding something broken together. It’s a horrible position to be in. “Kids don’t fix bad marriages. Even incredible ones like me.” Hayden smiles. I hate that he has to go through this. I know parents do their best, but for so many kids, they’re the first source of trauma. They’re the first people to teach you who you are and what you’re worth. For so long, you’re only someone’s child. It’s all you know how to be, and it’s supposed to be easy because life gets harder later. Parents are supposed to make it easy.
How much I invested in hope until it was gone, leaving me bankrupt. Even in the midst of my grieving, I’d anticipated a reprieve. I thought if happiness was fleeting, unhappiness must abide by the same rules. But if life can be this anarchic, I understand all too well the desire to sink. Or float. Or simply fade away.
Meeting him was coming home to a place I’d never been. A layer of dust and thick cobwebs. Doors hanging on rusted hinges. Sheets tossed over furniture. Chipped china in glass-fronted cabinets. I stopped in the doorway, wondering how it could be both familiar and foreign. Like returning to a past life.
There’s too much weight. I’ve never felt it all at once like this. All the little compartments of my mind have opened simultaneously and dumped their contents on me. So much love woven through so much loss. I’m embarrassed by how much stuff I’ve allowed myself to accumulate. No wonder my shoulders ache. No wonder taking on even the smallest emotional load feels like too much.

Excellent coming-of-age book about Melie trying to cope with a loss, a boyfriend she keeps at a distance, and aging out of the foster care system soon. When she finds out she has an identical twin sister it’s too much for her, and Melie starts spiraling taking drugs again and keeping everyone away. When she goes to a treatment center, she wonders if she will ever find a way to be herself. Does she even want to?

it’s 11:50 pm and I’ve just finished the book so my option may change later but I this book left me with a longing for my 17 year old self I wish she had this book. It speaks so open and truthfully about mental illness and idk it made me feel as if she took a look in my brain and took little pieces of my feelings that I couldn’t out into words. I felt seen by this book and I’m so happy I got to read it. I didn’t love the ending however the ending plus the acknowledgments for some reason felt like the perfect way to end it.

2.5/5 - I’m sad because I really wanted to like the book because the cover is STUNNING, but I was bored the entire time. The pacing was so slow for majority of the book. And there were too many characters to keep track of. The FMC was all over the place with her emotions, which made sense towards the end, but it was hard for me to connect to what she had been through. And I was confused at the ending and disappointed.

Good book with very heavy topics for it to be a YA book. It focuses on identity, trauma, and mental health. A teen trying to navigate life in her own body while struggling.
The pacing was slow.

Was in fact about a boy lol.
But it was more than just that, it was Amelie finding herself after loss. Wanting more after not wanting anything at all. Accepting love when she felt undeserving. Letting go when she held on too much. Healing when all she did was hurt.
When I first saw this book on Pinterest, I picked it up because the cover captivated me, but as I turned the page Amelie drew me in. Her story, her figuring out, her healing, her accepting and learning to live with borderline personality disorder.
Complex characters always do it for me and I lost sleep because I was about to go to war for Amelie. Hollis beautifully coined a flawed, struggling, trying character and that made her beautiful.
With so many gems and nuggets littered through each page, I found myself enamored. Just to leave you with one and by far my favorite…
“Life. The way we navigate it as women. As Black women. It’s different. It takes incredible resilience and a strong sense of self. The things you’ve been through, they’re part of your story, but they’re not the sum of your identity. You have to plant your identity deep enough for it to take root because the world will try to define you. To tell you who you are and what you’re worth. It isn’t always easy to stay grounded in what you know to be true. You have to remind yourself constantly. No one knows you the way you do.”

So, I picked up Not About a Boy not really knowing what to expect, but I ended up really liking it. It’s not just some cheesy romance (even though the title kinda tricks you lol). It’s more about figuring out who you are and dealing with stuff like friendships, growing up, and all the drama that comes with it.
The main character is super relatable—like, she’s awkward sometimes, makes dumb choices, but you still root for her. The writing is chill, not too try-hard or boring, and it actually feels like how real people talk.
Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it dragged a little in the middle, but it picked up again toward the end. Definitely worth a read if you’re into stories about real life, with a bit of humor and heart.

(did this on audio - first attempt in years from the last audiobook I tried - still don't know if audio is for me; narrator voice put me out of the story a bit)
I liked the tone and pacing of this novel - it did drag a bit IMO but I felt that really sold the voice of the main character Mel & what she was going through. I really appreciated the representation for teens and therapy and how working through their emotions & thoughts can benefit them. Mel dealt with a lot of trauma in her 17 yrs & she was learning how to grapple with that.
The cover caught my eye first & then a blurb mentioned it was like Euphoria, so that's why I wanted to read it. I don't usually read YA anymore but this was perfect to read for my Lit & Related Materials for Young Adults course I'm taking in grad school. I could see this story being adapted for the screen & would watch! I would definitely read this author again.

Let me start by saying how much I adore this cover.
Now that that's been said: I picked this book up because I've been feeling depressed myself, and I felt something like this would be right up my alley. I was right. Reading this felt cathartic, in some ways, and the fact that this is a debut novel makes it even more special. And yeah, I almost started to cry at the end.
Myah Hollis has a new fan in me for life.
