American Spy
by Lauren Wilkinson
2.5
This is an absolutely brilliant premise but unfortunately I wasn’t so fond of the execution. The story is told in a journal format which for me, considerably slowed down the pace and removed much of the tension out of the story. It’s far more reflective and contemplative than an synopsis promising an espionage thriller would have me believe.
I found myself emotionally distant from the drama and action occurring in the book. I never saw the attraction between Marie and Jonathan. It’s a massive problem because you need to believe in their chemistry for the entire plot to work. Overall it was a very underwhelming read, made even more so with the glimmer of an amazing premise.
