fun YA spy thriller/bodyguard romance
I read this book when it was first published last year and am excited to be able to claim a copy of it this week to read again as I had borrowed it from the library before. I like this redesigned cover for the paperback edition better than the previous one.
Some of my thoughts from prior reading:
STARS AND SMOKE blends several genres of mystery, thriller, fantasy, and romance into a fun YA book. Going in, I wasn’t sure if I’d like it. It looked a bit cheesy and while it did in fact turn out that way, the fast pace, witty characters, and far-fetched but fun world made for an enjoyable read. Some pretty ridiculous things happened, so this is not a book to pick apart thinking about the plausibility or it will really be ruined. The ending wrapped up what occurred in the storyline but left things open for a sequel.
