If you're looking for something to read after you've finished all of [a:Ally Carter|56224|Ally Carter|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1208362946p2/56224.jpg]'s books, then this is worth a try. Not as tightly plotted, but enjoyable enough.

I love this book. From the plot to the main character Maggie. The way Maggie isn't sure about anything to do with sociale interaction is relatable and the fact that Maggie's "problem" with social interaction is coming from lack of experience.

A bit unrealistic , but on occasion insanely funny . I really liked the main character Maggie , who was funny and smart and kind , but I loved her new best friend Roux even more . She was so hilarious and such a good friend that I will most definitely be reading the sequel , If only for the brilliance of her character .

I mean...It wasn't bad. It was okay. Too much dialogue for my taste. I found myself skimming through the chapters where Maggie and Roux gossiped because it felt like snarky comments were just being thrown left and right for the hell of it. Skipped past the Angelo chapters as well, because he seemed to be written in for Maggie's convenience. And if only Maggie would stop saying the word 'spy'. We get it, Maggie. You're a spy, but not a very good one if you keep slipping up and saying it out loud.

The nice thing about this book, though, is Maggie's relationship with Jesse Oliver. They weren't head over heels for each other instantly, and they weren't sickeningly sweet together either.

Now, would I read the next book? Probably not. Would I read it if I was stuck in a long car trip and had nothing else on my tablet? Sure.

this book was a great light read, with funny and likeable characters. i really liked how the characters all seemed to actually act like teenagers. i'm always in for a spy story!

Already insta-love. Blech. And I feel like Benway is trying way too hard to make teens like her book by making everyone super sarcastic, or a rebel, or a hot guy, or chill parents. That's not what I read YA for or why I love YA so much. Maybe I'll read it again later, when I'm more in the mood for a light read, but I doubt it.
