amieg17 's review for:
American Spy
by Lauren Wilkinson
This book had so much potential but ultimately fell flat for me. It could have been great with commentary a Black woman who is mistreated just because of her gender and race. However, this novel is labelled as a thriller and it was not thrilling at all. It felt like we were constantly getting told things about the characters and their emotions but, I never actually felt that through the actions. It felt oddly emotional less to say some of the themes that are covered within this book.
I read another review below that said that this book should be categorised differently, maybe as historical fiction. And I really agree with that. But then again, there were problems with the historical bits failing to be properly explained. Maybe if you have better knowledge of American history than me, you would understand what was going on more but I’m afraid I just didn’t fully understand what was going on for the majority.
