Neapolitan Novels

★★★★☆ 4.5 avg

"1,700 pages of friendship as battlefield, Naples as character"

"

One does not simply read a Ferrante book, one lives it.

— Allie’s review of Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay

"

The new living flesh was replicating the old in a game, we were a chain of shadows who had always been on the stage with the same burden of love, hatred, desire, and violence.

— passage from Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay

MOST LOVED

The King Must Die

Mary Renault, 1958

You: ★★★★★

"A reader who wants to be transported, not validated. She’d rather wrestle with alien values than be reassured by familiar ones."

"

The dead are never far from us. They’re in our hearts and on our minds and in the end all that separates us from them is a single breath, one final puff of air.

— from Ordinary Grace

FIERCE FAVORITES

We Will Be Jaguars

Nemonte Nenquimo

"Nemonte, many stars, you are a fierce jaguar warrior. It was an honor and a privilege to hear your story."

"Stories are living beings, as the Waorani people believe."

THE ROMANCE DONE RIGHT

The Shattered King

Charlie N. Holmberg

"The romance felt well-earned, more emotionally based than carnal (hear that ACOTAR?) and realistic."

"You don’t need a love triangle to evoke sweetness and sorrow."

THE HYPE TEST

Onyx Storm

You: 1 ★

1.5M ratings on Goodreads

BookTok’s darling. You weren’t convinced.

"

Felt like a lot of running around with quippy, cringy dialogue and 🌽 scenes with little to no actual plot...

this should have just been a trilogy.

HYPE-RESISTANT

"Allie can smell inauthentic emotion from a mile away"

★

Onyx Storm -3.21 from community

★

One Golden Summer -3.30 from community

★

Very Cold People -2.38 from community

"

The sad part is that there were moments of really beautiful writing or evocative imagery.

I am instead left bereft.

THE EPIC

A PERSONAL CONNECTION

An Indian Among los Indígenas

A Peace Corps memoir

"Jarringly reminded me of my own service experiences, in Panama and Ecuador."

"

Who was really helping who here? Who was being changed?

Humanity at the end of the day, is all about connections. About truly seeing each other.

— Allie’s review

"

It reminds me of a connection I had made with someone from Ecuador who had little to his name, yet was desperate to leave me with a memento.

He gifted me something more precious than I could have given.

THE SERIES LETDOWN

Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone

Greg Keyes

"The only fitting ending was Aspar’s. The characters became dull or too far-fetched."

"

Eye rolling at the amount of times love interests swayed—

I’m looking at you Sir Neil, and you too callous Anne.

— on The Born Queen

WHAT YOU NOTICE

❤ Romance & Chemistry quality

💬 Authentic dialogue

💖 Emotional resonance

👤 Character consistency

🌟 Earned moments

"

The dialogue between husband and wife felt very contrived—

no one speaks that way.

— on Fates and Furies

THE SKEPTIC

"Just not believable."

— on Quicksilver (Fae & Alchemy)

Three words. Devastating.

THE OPTIMISTIC ACTIVIST

"Allie doesn’t want sanitized inspiration; she wants truth with teeth."

We Will Be Jaguars Fighting to protect the Amazon

Everything Is Tuberculosis Disease of poverty and inequity

"

A stark reminder of the injustice and inequality all too prevalent in this world.

Ultimately, we are the cause. We must also be the cure.

— on Everything Is Tuberculosis

THE VERDICT

Discerning Optimist

Someone who believes in humanity but refuses to be pandered to

YOU WANT BOOKS THAT

✓ Treat complexity as a feature

✓ Earn their emotional moments

✓ Challenge comfortable assumptions

✓ Amplify voices that don’t get the spotlight

✓ Transport you to different times and mindsets

THE STANDARD

You’ll devour a 4-book Italian saga, a 1958 Greek myth retelling, and a tuberculosis manifesto in the same year—

but ruthlessly 1-star a fantasy sequel that coasts on hype.

"Allie reads like she means it."
