I really enjoyed Dara's debut novel! Allegra (Ally) is the "good daughter" and tries her very hardest to not only appease her parents but to also keep the waters calm within her immediate family, no matter how hurtful her parents may be. Ally's parents actions are beyond cringe worthy and yet, not far fetched at all. A story of a woman who takes her responsibilities of being a daughter, wife and mother with complete seriousness, even if it means costing her own health. After all...it could be worse.
