The Kennedy Girl by Julia Bryan Thomas
4.0

As always, thanks to Sourcebooks Landmark for sending me this ARC! I find myself looking at their upcoming releases more and more, definitely good books coming from this publisher lately!

This was such an interesting story. I couldn't read this fast enough. 1960s Paris fashion, good old fashion spy stuff and the geopolitical tension of the Cold War come together in this truly captivating story.
Mia is working in a bakery when she is approached by a stranger offering her a modeling job in Paris. She decides to throw caution to the wind and take this opportunity of a lifetime that has fallen in her lap. Little does she know she is being groomed to be used as a powerful asset to deliver information amongst the people vying for political power.
There were a couple paragraphs I skimmed over that had a little too much information for me on what was going on between all the parties involved in the Cold War. But the rest of the story had me sucked in completely!
