Allegedly drew me in from the very beginning. This is my first time reading Tiffany D. Jackson and I’m excited to read more from her soon. 

Allegedly is the story of Mary, a 15 year old girl who is living in a quarter pound after being released from prison for killing a baby when she was nine years old, allegedly. Jackson does an incredible job building tension around the unknown backstory of the murder from the get-go and gradually gives just enough information to keep you engaged but also so eager for more. 

I listened to the audiobook and it is incredibly well narrated, 10 out of 10. This book was 100% a 5 star read for me until the ending, I know some people will love the twist but it didn’t hit just right for me. If you like a lot of tension and a thriller that’s about revealing justice and the real story years after an event, this is perfect for you.
