This is a funny book that doesn't take itself too seriously. It is about a woman that wakes up and cannot remember who she is, but very quickly finds out that her identical twin is a spy that is currently on the run from multiple intelligence agencies around the world as well as cartels. She learns to cope with having to be on the run with a hot spy guy that happens to be her twin sisters partner.
I listened to the audiobook of this, and I do wish that they had done the reading a bit differently. This audiobook was read by both a man and a woman, each reading the chapters for the respective POVs of the male main char and female main char. This mean that, if it was the female main char POV, the female voice actor would also read the male parts, and vice versa for the male main char POV, with the male voice actor also reading the female main char dialogue. I feel that if there are already going to be 2 different voice actors, they might as well have them read for the proper parts. I mainly say this because the male voice actor reading for the female main character made her sound annoying and bratty, which made it a bit less enjoyable for me when I actually did enjoy the female main character for the most part.
This is a fun read and was a great first step into audiobooks for me. I thought it was a great book to listen to because it's not overly complicated and just meant to be a goofy fun time.
