Allegedly by Tiffany D. Jackson
3.0
3 stars ⭐️ I am quite a fan of Tiffany D. Jackson’s writing. This is the third book I’ve read of hers. This story was largely decent. I was engaged, interested, and invested in the FMC’s (Mary) journey. The pacing was good and the excerpts from interviews and papers were pretty cool additions.
The little bit of romance between Mary and Ted was…sweet? The age gap is considerably taboo however. He seemed genuine in his loyalty to her and cared for her the best way he knew how. I found it admirable for such a young man, also considering his own less-than-ideal circumstances.
One thing that I didn’t like about the book was the abrupt ending. Some folks like the shock value but I think what I wanted more was closure and clarity.
I’d recommend this to YA thriller readers. It’s definitely not something a seasoned or more mature thriller reader would be rushing to read or rating 5 stars. But it is a decent, quick paced book.
