madambookworm 's review for:
American Spy
by Lauren Wilkinson
This is a great introductory book for Lauren Wilkinson. I honestly think a movie could be based off this book.
It’s a effortless read and it is a page turner. However, it is not a thriller. It reads like a memoir. But the writing is really good because I could follow as she flipped back and forth through the years in not in chronological order. It’s the best fiction book I’ve read in a while.
The book walks through the normal life of a black FBI agent in the 80’s. She faced sexism, covered racism and she was overlooked for opportunities because she was a women and she was black. She was practically reduced only to a desk agent getting informants. But the one mission she did get, she believed it was because of her appearance and not her ability. The book also speaks about loss, sisterhood, growing into womenhood and creating an image for your personal brand.
Do you all think it will be a part 2?
