I’m probably the wrong audience for this, but I like the author’s other books, so I gave it a shot. It’s a fast-paced, tense story, perfect for YA readers who like thrillers. I found nearly every character to be unlikable; I started out rooting for the MC but hated her by the end. I also found myself internally screaming, “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP TRYING TO ESPIONAGE YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS AND TELL A $@*%#@% GROWN UP.” Not that the adults were much better, although the MC could’ve called her mom.
