Overview
Cinco personas. Cinco oportunidades. Una mujer en busca de la felicidad.
Los brazos de Allegra Bird están salpicados de pecas. A pesar de su apodo, Pecas, ella nunca ha podido unir todos los puntos, aún siente que no pertenece a algún lugar. Cuando un extraño le dice que todos somos el conjunto de las cinco personas con las que pasamos más tiempo, se abre algo muy profundo en ella. El problema es que Allegra no sabe si cuenta con cinco personas. ¿Qué dice eso de ella? Ha dejado atrás a su padre poco convencional y a sus amigos por una nueva y audaz vida en Dublín, pero sigue sintiendo que no encaja en ningún lugar. En una búsqueda por comprender, debe encontrar no una, sino cinco personas que la moldeen y que determinarán su futuro.

Five people.
Five chances.
One woman’s search for happiness.
Allegra Bird’s arms are scattered with freckles, a gift from her beloved father. But despite her nickname, Freckles has never been able to connect all the dots. So, when a stranger tells her that everyone is the average of the five people they spend the most time with, it opens up something deep inside.
The trouble is, Freckles doesn’t know if she has five people. And if not, what does that say about her? She’s left her unconventional father and her friends behind for a bold new life in Dublin, but she’s still an outsider.
Now, in a quest to understand, she must find not one but five people who shape her – and who will determine her future.
Told in Allegra’s vivid, original voice, moving from modern Dublin to the fierce Atlantic coast, this is an unforgettable story of human connection, of friendship, and of growing into your own skin.
