Books with title Oblivion

Precocious sixteen year-old Amelia Silver, an armchair philosopher determined to define purpose with a capital P, is already too negative for her own good. But when her parents drag her halfway across the planet, from her comfortable working class home in Venice Beach to a palatial monstrosity in Encino a month before high school starts, she turns to the dark side. An outsider among the strange, affected people walking the streets of the San Fernando Valley, Amelia enters eleventh grade and meets Lilith, a trash-talking, cigarette smoking sophisticate whose family and lifestyle — filthy rich parents who pay her to stay out of their hair — dramatically influences Amelia's life. Later, when Lilith mysteriously disappears, Amelia is thrown into the spotlight. Under scrutiny, she quickly discovers that it's not so easy to navigate the Valley's self-absorbed sub-culture without adopting a devil may care mind-set, and eventually succumbs to wicked bouts of emotional narcolepsy that mar her judgment. Rebelling against her own convictions, Amelia begins to take personal risks; she leans that ultimately, purpose is as subjective as her insight. Seeped in pop-culture “Into Oblivion” is a sharp, dark, quirky, and ultimately hopeful reminder that meaning is what we make of it, and that even the worst errors in judgment are redemptive.Trigger Warnings: 'Into Oblivion' depicts depression, drug use, peer pressure, and suicidal ideation ala, HBO's 'Eupohria' including, graphic and non-consensual sexual scenes.
