Messy, Wonderful Us by Catherine Isaac
2.0
Messy, Wonderful Us follows Allie as she navigates a newfound secret, her father could be someone else, not the man who raised her. Struggling with this secret, she heads off to Italy to find the man in the picture that looks strangely just like her.
Tagging along is her best friend Ed, who has just as many secrets of his own.
Together, with the backdrop of Italy the two try and find the man Allie believes to be her father.
At the same time this happens you get stories of the past that leave you on the edge of your seat, wanting to know more.
I'll say that this book was good, not the best but it was good. An original premise with original characters and problems. However, that is where the good stops. The writing is sub par, the execution of plot lines make it hard to follow at times and the addition of multiple other perspectives causes the story to derail from Allie and makes you wish she was never involved.
