"Read it in a day and I loved it, it made me love books that are in a comic style"

"I loved the art and honestly just the entire storyline as I could severely relate to it as someone who has 74 allergies đź’€"

"I hardly ever cry while reading. Sure, I'll feel sad, but I won't cry. Tears are reserved for real life scenarios. However, I felt so understood by this book that I was bawling by the end of it! It encapsulated being an older sister so beautifully!!! This author understands being the oldest sibling. Also, the diversity in this book is great! We need more Black female doctors represented!"

""Allergic" by Megan Lloyd and Michelle Nutter follows Maggie who for her whole live wanted a dog but finds out she is allergic to animal fur. <br/><br/>I would give "Allergic" by Megan Lloyd and Michelle Nutter a 3 star review because 1; while I could connect with the idea of wanting a pet 2; the art work was good and 3; I like how the story line was realistic."
