Taylor Swift songs: “the other side of the door (tv)”, “willow”

Age rating: 14+ (no spice, it’s fade to black)

For everyone who loved the Gallagher Girl books growing up, this one’s for you!! (This relationship is giving grown up Cammie and Zach iykyk) this was just what I needed right now: a fast paced, dual pov, campy, ridiculous (in a good way) spy book with really cute romance. If you’re not into the more light hearted, campy spy novels this will not be for you, but if you are, you will eat it up!! Also, I love a good ridiculous amnesia plot line.

I loved the reluctant partners aspect of the romance and how it was animosity to friends to lovers! I usually don’t like a broody man, but it worked in this instance! I liked his character growth, especially regarding his parents and his career/family/life balance. I will say this was more insta-love, but it worked with the fast paced plot of the book.

Overall I really liked it!! Was this a great literary masterpiece? No. But did I enjoy it and have fun reading it? Yes. So it’s a 4 stars from me.

Hilarious, clever and very well done.
Enjoyed the story and characters a lot. Used to her YA novels and this one had the humour of those, but adult concepts that pushed it to a different level. I’m still deciding if I liked that or not.

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!

I really liked this book! It's Gallagher Girls for adults and it really gives that vibes. It is a bit clichee but as long as you allow it to be a bit cheesy and just let that roll over you I found it a really good time.

It made me gasp and grinn so hard at times and isn't that the point of inc on paper!
