Mary was nine years old when this occurred and has been in juvenile since then she is now 16 years old and realizing that this whole time she may have been protecting her mother and allegedly might not have unalived Alyssa at all.

2/23 Edited to

... Read moreReading Allegedly by Tiffany D. Jackson offers a unique perspective on the complexities of justice through the eyes of Mary, a young girl caught in a heartbreaking accusation. What makes this novel stand out is not just the suspense, but the way it challenges the reader to reconsider assumptions about guilt and innocence. Throughout the story, Mary’s experiences shed light on the flaws within the juvenile justice system and the impact of trauma on a child's perception of reality. As someone who enjoys psychological thrillers with deep emotional layers, I found Allegedly compelling because it blurs the lines between victim and perpetrator. The narrative unfolds gradually, mirroring how true understanding often requires piecing together incomplete and misleading information. This storytelling approach made me reflect on real-life cases where the truth is never fully clear-cut. The audiobook version, narrated by Bahni Turpin, adds another dimension to the experience. Turpin’s expressive voice brings authentic emotion to Mary’s character, enhancing the tension and nuance throughout the chapters. Listening to the story made me feel more connected with Mary’s turmoil and the moral ambiguities she faces. If you appreciate thrillers that keep you questioning what really happened and invite you to think critically about justice and family loyalty, Allegedly is definitely worth your time. It stands out among thriller books for its emotional depth and social commentary, making it a memorable and meaningful read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When I say this book draws you in from the beginning to the very end!!! Having two kids of my own it was hard to read because babyyyy, I’d be in the jail myself and you wouldn’t have to worry about “baby jail”. It’s not much I can really say about this book besides WOW! I went through

Haven’t Read Allegedly YET
I always see these two books pair together (same author I know), but I don’t wanna confuse really enjoying one and having that expectation for the other. When I read Monday is not coming it was like a jaw dropper. Like Wait a minute what? 😲😲😲 Should I just read allegedly with no expectation?
