The Blonde Identity by Ally Carter

3.0

If I had known going in that this book was fade to black when it came to the steam factor, I might not have picked it up... but it certainly explained why it was so short. I still enjoyed it (though my crafting group got an earful about when it felt like a whole chapter or two had been ripped out).

I adored Swayer and Zoe, their chemistry was palpable and the twists and turns of their relationship and plot were at times hilarious and also poignant. Zoe is a heroine who it is easy to root for who is balanced with a witty countenance and the ability to laugh during what could easily be overwhelming, or negative circumstances (but she does cry too).

Well worth the read if you enjoy argumentative repartee that leads to charged atmosphere, absurd and comical plays on tropes, and cunning women who can think, plan, and improvise themselves out of trouble.
