In the first Thanksgiving episode Amy gets jealous of Jake going on a case with Holt and gets frustrated that Holt spends a lot of time with Jake to the point she acts out and accidentally destroys the shelves and drinks. Jealous that an authority/parental figure prefers someone else and ignores her despite her attempts to get attention is exactly her childhood with David.
It's not just Holt, Jake seemed to be closer to Captain McGintley, the captain before Holt, than Amy since he let the squad do whatever he wants. In the first episode Terry calls Jake his best detective which he might have let slip out in some ways that Amy figured it out.
I think this is one of the reason Amy disliked Jake so much at first, no matter how childish or immature he was, their superior officer still thought higher of Jake than her in some way or other, at least in her eyes. Just like how her parents always put David above her.
