She woke up in a pile of snow on a Parisian street. She couldn’t remember anything, but there is a super hot guy with a gun calling her Alex and telling her to run. The only logical explanation…she’s a SPY!! This enemies to lovers, opposites attract book follows him and her as they try to solve the mystery of who she is, why she is in Europe and why does everyone keep trying to kill her? I love the main female character, she is so funny and real, and I love how she trusts herself and how strong she knows she is.

As someone who grew up with the Gallagher Girls series, I was beyond thrilled when I heard the Ally Carter was releasing an adult spy novel. This book was lighthearted and funny with lots of cute banter between spy (or operative as he insisits) and adorable normal-person amnesiac.
While I enjoyed so many aspects of the book it felt very bare bones and heavy on the dialogue and leaned much more into the comedy side as opposed to the higher stakes adventure I had come to expect from the later Gallagher Girls books.
If you want a lighthearted spy themed rom-com this is for you!

The dedication literally made me sob. Thank you Ally Carter for writing this book (and all of your books) for me.
While romcoms tend not to be the most prestigious examples of literature, this book was certainly a damn good time. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that has made my heart burst in every single chapter, but this book hit the mark. Ally even made me not hate a man calling a woman “sweetheart.” Not to mention she gave a great addition to the classic “I’ll kill anyone who hurts you” line.
This book made me giggle and blush and kick my feet and occasionally check my pulse. It also made me very sentimental. For these reasons it is my first 5 star read of the year (almost 9 months in oops). I’m an Ally stan through and through.
