Freckles

I really enjoyed reading this.

Allegra aka Freckles is a quirky character. She's a parking warden and one day during her rounds she tickets a yellow Ferrari, which leads to her meeting Tristan, the owner of the Ferrari. At some point during their conversation he tells her that ‘you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with ‘.

Allegra can't stop thinking about this and it leads her to a journey of self discovery as she tries to figure out who her 5 people are.

There are some laugh out loud moments, as well as some palm face moments as we follow Allegra on this journey.

I loved Freckles, although at times I did find myself feeling a little frustrated by her.

Thank you to PH and Cecelia for the chance to read this book.

I really loved this book and the journey you go on with the main character. I found this to be similar to Eleanor Oliphant which is another book I loved. You can get annoyed with the main character at times but overall she is endearing and you want her to do complete her “task”.

I found the backstory of her mum and dad interesting/controversial and wish this would have been explored further and that we had got to hear her side of the story but with the plot it is understandable why we don't.

The ending is so lovely and heartwarming and leaves it open enough for you to be able to imagine more happiness for her.
