The author has penned quite a litany of titles. Allie and Bea comes across as being, from a creativity aspect, quite run-of-the-mill, almost formulaic. Rushed? Publisher pressure? Perhaps purposefully tailored for an immature readership. The book has the characteristics of a writers' workshop product. Sit at a desk, shift around the literary nuts and bolts arrayed before you; permute, combine, cobble it together. Occasionally a truism is put forward (p 204), referencing what is extant today. However, all in all, it's outweighed by the continual culinary harping of a cocooned, righteous 15-year-old vegan, self-deluded by the notion that being one will save her and the planet. Clueless and tiresome.
