Tiffany D. Jackson is one of the greatest YA fiction authors. I have read many of her books and I am continuously impressed by her ability to bring stories to life. After I finish a book by her, I immediately want a film or tv series adaption just so I don't have to "say goodbye" to the characters in it. These feelings towards Jackson led me to pick up Allegedly, her debut novel that was first published in 2017. As we all know, debut novels can be tough. They do not always showcase the author's talents fully and that was certainly the case with this book. Mary, the protagonist, is very unlikeable and I did not have that same attachment to her when compared to other characters in Jackson's newer books. Also, to be blunt, the ending of this novel was terrible. I'm sure some readers will like it for its shock factor, but I thought it was kind of a cop-out. Overall, if you are looking to read something from Jackson, I would recommend Let Me Hear A Rhyme or White Smoke over this title.
