I have heard a lot of things about Marie Lu’s series and thought her newest young adult release would be perfect to start with. This book is perfect for fans of Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy as well as XOXO - as it’s a mashup of spy romance with an idol romance. The book follows an international superstar (Winter Young) and a young covert operative in training (Sydney Cossette) as they try to complete a mission in intel gathering. Winter is our lonely superstar while Sydney is our ambitious covert operative.

This book has forced proximity, fake dating and some hints of enemies to lovers tropes. It has cute, swoon worthy moments and flirty dialogue as well as good twists. The book is written in a limited third person point of view that alternates between our two main characters. It also has a few transcripted dialogues between two covert agents that gives the reader some additional background.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a cute spy romance or a good kpop fanfiction. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a lighter mystery read but not anyone looking for a steamy or thriller read.

Thank you to the publisher, NetGalley and FierceReads for providing me with a copy of this book for my honest opinion!
