I was genuinely pumped about getting to read the second Mae Marvel book. 💖 I'm not sure if it's me and my general malaise about the world writ-large, or whether there really was kind of a dip in the middle of the book, but until the last 20% or so, I was on the fence about the rating. It was heading for a 3.5, but the last bit saved it. I ended up crying happy tears, and so glad to see the FMCs really get the ending they deserved. Overall, it was well worth the read. 🥰
0I was so excited to read this book. A spin on Mr & Mrs smith sounded like a good time. However, this book was not for me.
Rarely dues POV choice bother me but in this book, it did. I needed first person to connect to one of these women. They felt very immature and less intelligent than a spy would need to be to survive.
It will definitely work for a lot less f people but I am not in that group.
