A review by castyapples
Allie and Bea by Catherine Ryan Hyde

3.0

3.5 ⭐️ This was a cute, unique book based on an elderly woman and a young teenager who both suddenly lost everything they had. They tried to navigate what kind of world to live in without their belongings or people. It was a nice change up from all of the romances and thrillers out there. I really enjoyed the beginning of this story, and thennnn the middle of the book had a long lull. I didn’t like when Bea kept going back and forth on whether she wanted Allie to stay with her. Their relationship had the potential to became more meaningful throughout their road trip, but then didn’t. And the end of the book seemed rushed. I would recommend it, but probably wouldn’t read it again.
