I struggled a little with the journal style of the story but overall it was really interesting. I do wish the ending wasn’t as abrupt as it was because it feels unfinished….
I feel like all of the elements where there but still felt lacking to me

I really wanted to like this book but I had a hard time getting into it. I expected action and suspense from this book and didn't find it. The book is supposed to be a journal explaining her life to her two boys and that style didn't work for me.
Enjoyable overall but left me more intrigued about the plot holes than the actual plot.
2.5 stars.
This book started out fast-paced and intriguing and then quickly got suuuuuuper jargony and kinda boring.
I wasn’t a huge fan of Marie and I’m confused about why she didn’t even try to learn the local language. Seems like something a spy would want to do... :/

Loved this! The framing device with the diary to her sons could have been cloying, but it landed on the side of genuinely sweet and heartfelt for me. Loved the spy action and wacky gadgets and everything.
