pdreads27 's review for:
American Spy
by Lauren Wilkinson
Briefly, I wanted to love this book. It had a lot of potential and good aspects including a strong woman protagonist, a lovely blend of fact and fiction, and a refreshing take on a spy novel. However, I felt myself finish the book out of obligation rather than enjoyment. Except for the beginning and some later parts, the pacing overall felt way too slow. While I liked the first-person narration and that the novel is written as a letter to Marie's twins, it lost some momentum at scenes that should have been explosive and gripping. I think later on I'll give this another shot. Definitely looking forward to seeing more work from Laura Wilkinson. Also, I read the audible version and Bahni Turpin's narration was top notch. That alone kept me engaged.
