The Conspiracy of Us
by Maggie Hall
SO MUCH FUN.
I had so much fun reading this book and sometimes, that is all I care about when reading a book. I really enjoyed this book.
Avery finds an unique world within the Circle, filled with political drama. The main start of this book is about discovering the secrets of the Circle and fighting off the opposing families. They are the most powerful people in the world and control everything from politics to sports.
This book felt very much like an Ally Carter novel – lots of fun destinations (Paris! Istanbul!), cute boys, and high packed drama/mystery. I was always involved with what would happen next and it kept me on my toes. There also weren’t any straight paths to anything. One clue would lead to another clue and so on. It kept the action interesting. There are two groups that are interested in what Avery and Jack are after, so that added intensity also keeps everything moving along. Many scenes are filled with narrow escapes and spy tactics in order to get what they want.
Avery was a really strong character. I liked her the most because of her relationships with her mother and the people that she met along her many moves around the country. It was really sad and it made me connect with Avery. Even though this is a kind of common trope, I connected with Avery because I believed it. She wasn’t just saying it, but she was acting it too. Her relationships with both boys also added to her character and I liked knowing her through her relationships – something very common with real people and not just characters.
The romance in this book is really sweet. There is kind of a love triangle, but it’s not the most important part of the story and it’s pretty clear that Avery only feels for one side (compare to Sweet Evil). Anyway, Avery and Jack could even be considered insta-love. But I felt for them too. There is a passage in this book that talks about how relationships develop faster in high intensity situations, and I completely agree. Also, they knew each other for a while before the book began. Don’t worry though – no crazy declarations of love! I totally ship Avery and Jack, although I’m nervous about the cliffhanger.
Overall, I found this book so much fun! I loved every page of it. I can’t wait for the sequel and this was one of my favorite books of the year so far.
