The way that I am obsessed with this book. I was an avid Ally Carter reader in my youth and almost died with excitement when I saw this book news. It lived up to my high expectations and I fully expect this to be a breakout book of the year. I simply cannot wait for other people to get their hands on this book.

Ally Carter’s “The Blonde Identity” starts out strong with a young woman waking up under the Eiffel Tower with no knowledge of who she is or why she is there. We are then taken on a fast paced race to figure out who she is and to solve her mystery with a very attractive and grumpy spy.

The entire mystery of the story kept me very engaged and I loved how Carter brought all of the pieces together at the end. I found some of the storyline difficult to believe which took me out of the storyline and the chemistry between Sawyer and Zoe was a little forced. However, Carter did a good job at keeping the story going in an intriguing and light hearted way.

What a treat! This face-paced, banter-filled, funny, action/romance could be just the thing to brighten your day, or maybe your week, if you can wait that long to finish it. The story begins when an amnesiac woman meets a seasoned spy on the streets of Paris. Danger, hijinks, and attraction ensue. Among the many nods to rom-com tropes, fake newlyweds on a river cruise is especially delightful. Based on the ending, there could be a sequel. Can't wait.

This book was an absolute DELIGHT from start to finish! I'm not at all surprised that Ally Carter a) does a spy romcom very well and b) makes the jump from YA to adult without a blink. I laughed so hard during one particular chapter of this book my roommates were concerned about me. It hits all the best romance tropes and beats right on cue but I like the twist that the spy elements add. I will say it's more plot heavy than most of the romances I've read so far (which is a decent amount but not a ton) but that in no way detracts from the romance between our two MCs.

I absolutely Loved this book!! The characters were very interesting and relatable. I really loved how the author kept the story moving without it slowing down and getting boring. I will be recommending this book to all of my friends and family.

I loved the brilliant heroine and everything about this road trip/amnesia adventure rom com about a woman who discovers she’s the twin sister of a rogue spy. Chef's kiss! I have already started recommending Ally Carter’s The Blonde Identity to readers looking for a fun and fabulous summer read.

What a fun adult debut from Ally Carter! A core memory was unlocked when I saw the ARC in NetGalley, and I immediately went down a Gallagher Girls rabbit hole from my pre-adolescence.

I really felt transported to the mid-aughts reading Carter's voice again and seeing how fun she is writing out spy sequences and love stories. The banter in The Blonde Identity was sizzling, and I really couldn't fully guess the entire plot ahead of time.

A few parts got a tad repetitive, but that's partially due to the challenging nature of the amnesia trope. If the protagonist gets her memory back too soon, the entire storyline can feel rushed and unearned. On the other hand, if it takes too long, readers spend large portions of the novel spinning their wheels as the same scenarios play out over and over. (I think Carter leaned a little more into the latter scenario to avoid the former one.)

All in all, I've been a real hater when it comes to 2000s trends coming back en vogue in the 2020s, but as far as Ally Carter's writing and its reappearance in my life a decade and a half later are concerned, I'll make an exception. I already can't wait for the second book in this series.

Zoe is a girl on a mission, she just doesn’t know what that mission is, or who she is… or even why she has to be in one.

Zoe wakes up in Paris with amnesia and several bad guys after her thinking that she’s actually her twin sister (who is a spy) One handsome and brooding operative, Sawyer, is there to help her.

Now they are on a mission to find her sister and to stop the bad guys. Oh and also there’s a lot of tension and they obviously want each other.

You’ll enjoy this book if you identify with the following:
-Like a fast paced story
-like books that are full of adventure
- like slow burn romance
-if you enjoyed the amnesia plot line in the Gallagher Girls series

I really enjoyed this book and especially the little nods to her previous series. The banter is witty, the characters are smart, and there’s potential for a sequel. I hope Ally Carter continues to write adult spy rom cons because no one else does it like her!
