Review by snowbenton - Allegra

snowbenton 's review for:

Allegra by Shelley Hrdlitschka

1.0

dark sad tense slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I can't tell if Allegra was supposed to be autistic or if Hrdlitschka just couldn't handle writing relationships, but either way, I spent most of my time here cringing. Every interaction Allegra had with anyone was painful.

I also think the teacher behaved extremely inappropriately, and it made me feel gross that the overwhelming message is that Allegra did something wrong.
