What if the people who have the power to change your life are the ones who have been there all along…

Like stars in the night sky, freckles are scattered across Allegra Bird’s arms, a legacy from her beloved father.

Her legacy from her mother is more complicated – until one question from a stranger inspires a change. What if it isn’t about fitting in, but finding the people who make you who you are? Who would those people be?

As she searches for connection, Allegra is about to find out that it is our differences that make life worth living – if only someone can help you to join the dots …

I usually love a Cecelia Ahern book. They are usually a little qerky. You'll laugh, you'll cry.

This story could have been told in a few chapters but just went on and on about nothing. I couldn't wait for it to end.

The only good thing was the narration. Read beautifully.

Disappointed

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

There were moments that this story had some special messages. But it did drag on and so much wallowing in self pity and loathing. And I feel something was missing from the storyline. Loved the narrator - I think she rescued the story. If I had been reading this story I’m sure I would have given up.

Flat and frustrated

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I’m sorry to say but the character was just too unlikable for me. The story was good though and still listened to the end.

Don’t like parking wardens

I just love how cecelia writes creative stories to set her apart from others. Freckles makes you assess your circle of friends and life path. And with the Irish accent thrown in - brilliant!!!

Cecelia never disappoints

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
