ghostlyprince's review against another edition

Just straight up I am not able to handle the contents of the book; HOWEVER if you can handle it I 100% recommend it because this book tackles things that happen way too often

It’s always fun to visit an author’s debut after finding their later work—you can see the seeds of what they gravitate towards, both in technical skill and seemingly personal interest. After devouring The Weight of Blood, I started Allegedly the very same day, and I was not disappointed. A moving story of identity, perseverance  hope, and mother's & daughters. Also: read the content warnings. Whew.
