Told through a series of redacted confessions recorded by a secret agency, this is the story of Talya— a girl who’ s equal parts Katniss Everdeen and Harriet the Spy. Sharp-eyed and fiercely independent, she navigates crushes, cliques, bullies, and conspiracies, all while proving one undeniable truth— high school is pure torture. Having lost her parents and her memory, Talya’ s only goal is to survive senior year. When Axel walks into her English class, she’ s convinced he’ s a spy who holds the key to her past and can save her from a sinister plot. After she stumbles upon a real conspiracy, Axel reluctantly gives her the tools to protect herself. But Talya has secrets of her own— and even under interrogation, she won’ t admit the real reason she’ s drawn to the enigmatic, attractive new student. When the homecoming football game explodes into an international crisis, Talya discovers she’ s not just at risk— she may be the biggest threat of all.

This book is a fast paced mystery that I couldn't put down. The author has a witty and evocative story telling style that hooks you and immerses you in the book from the first page. I could totally relate to the high school setting and main characters from prior school days, and totally enjoyed this book from cover to cover!
Good Points
Fast paced, captivating mystery!
