REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK | #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“This fast-paced read has everything you could want in a thriller: secret identities, a mysterious boss and a cat & mouse game that kept me guessing the whole way through.”—Reese Witherspoon

Evie Porter has everything a nice Southern girl could want: a doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence, a tight group of friends. The only catch: Evie Porter doesn’t exist.

The identity comes first: Evie Porter. Once she’s given a name and location by her mysterious boss, Mr. Smith, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it. Then the mark: Ryan Sumner. The last piece of the puzzle is the job.

Evie isn’t privy to Mr. Smith’s real identity, but she knows this job isn't like the others. Ryan has gotten under her skin, and she’s starting to envision a different sort of life for herself. But Evie can’t make any mistakes—especially after what happened last time.

Evie Porter must stay one step ahead of her past while making sure there's still a future in front of her. The stakes couldn't be higher—but then, Evie has always liked a challenge. . . .

Title: Just wow. **Very light spoilers**
Review: This was one of the best books I've ever read. The lead character is basically a spy for a criminal organization. The twists and turns this book had were fabulous. The book was very well written and I loved how the author took us back in time to the female leads prior jobs and prior aliases giving pieces of information that were relevant to the main character in the present time on her current job. I was completely captivated from beginning to end. I will definitely read this book again and recommend it to others. 5 stars hands down.

Title: Great Ending. I didn't see it coming.
Review: I loved this book. It was a real page turner. Without giving too much away, I loved how smart the main character was. I underestimated her, but was pleasantly surprised in the end. This book was a great read!

Title: Fun read
Review: I'd give 4 stars to the book iteslf. Is it a book spending money on? I'd give that a 1/2. So 3 it is.I wanted to check this out from the library, but my situation was time sensitive and there was a very long wait. It was a fun book. Worth the read, but definitely not worth buying and owning a copy. I'm picky about books that are worth spending actual money on though. If buying books is your thing.....This is a rather entertaining book. You do need a suspension of disbelief, but if you can get to that it's a really fun read. There are so many improbable/questionable things, but somehow the aurhor made me not care about them and want to take the ride.Characters are developed nicely enough. There are lots of twists, some cleverly moving the story in an interesting direction. Beyond plot, there is just something about the way this book is layed out that makes it fun. I love the timing of this book. The author managed to give me exactly the right information at exactly the right time. I figured things out just before I read it. So it was fun figuring it out but not so early that it became tiring and dull. This happened at several points throughout the book. It was actually pretty impressive how the author was able to work everything through the plot in the way she did.

Title: Wish the paperback was normal font size!
Review: I bought the paperback before realizing that the paperback was large text only, so I switched for hardcover. I wish the paperback had a normal font size option at the time I purchased4.5⭐️There were so many twists and turns that kept me guessing right up through the last paragraph of the book. The plot was incredibly detailed and it was easy to read and understand. The time jumps added to the story and each one had a clear purpose to add to the backstory. Every paragraph was intentional and detailed and I really enjoyed this book!The characters were well developed (well, some were as developed as they could be given the characters career choice, but the main players were detailed) and it was easy to connect with the story.The writing style was absolutely perfect!

Title: Keeps your interest!
Review: I loved this book. It was creative and complex in a good way. The characters are well developed and the twist is relatable yet unrealistic.

Title: it doesn’t have to be a lie
Review: Lucca’s character was well developed exhibiting behavior consistent with her traits, predilections, and thought processes.Her sharp street-smarts were astute to point where her machinations superseded my anticipations.Aside from that her self-confidence was so acute that no courage was needed even though she thought otherwise. Her attitude was a clear result of her strong relationship with her mother. She knew that she was loved. That love superseded any feral fear that would’ve been healthy in such a situation not knowing what she was up against.With aplomb her attitude didn’t allow concession in thinking that Mr. Smith was beyond her reach. On the contrary she assumed herself to be an equal knowing that all she had to do to escape was to figure out how to do it. There’s always time to make a decision before acting no matter how small. She always took that time.I must admit that I didn’t figure out who Mr. Smith was and was definitely duped by her, Amy, and Devon’s deception. That was a surprise.As the reader will find out the title of the book is to inform one that the only way to success is preparation preemptive establishment.Having said all of this Lucca isn’t really a hero. She is a faulty character because she is a criminal engaged in wrongful behavior. But, as always people are complex and the reader eventually identifies with her plight and sentiments.In a lot of our culture including literature, bemoaning pain of broken relationships, hardship, and most of all our own failures is very common. But, it doesn’t have to be that we way. We can live a life of principle and light. If we study such works as Proverbs and take them to heart it is possible to have happiness, satisfaction, and purpose.A slight criticism that I have is that the book ends like a TV episode. I can almost hear the cheesy music playing in the background when everything is wrapped up in a neat bow and all the characters are chumming around together as the villain is carted away getting what he deserves in the end.Even germination of the complex relationship between her and Ryan blooms at the end is wrapped up in the most simple manner as if the author was tying up a loose end in the story after it was such a central pivotal point at the beginning and throughout the story. But, it was so much more than that. It was the catalyst that inspired her to strive for something better and more meaningful.Nevertheless, it was a page turner in the way it written. For that it gets five stars.

Review: Mir gefällt, dass die Hauptperson in verschiedene Identitäten schlüpft, sich aber immer bewusst ist, wer sie ist und wo sie herkommt. Das Ende ist wirklich ein Happy End und zeigt, dass Menschen zueinander finden und Beziehungen auf Vetrauen/Verständnis/Liebe aufbauen.
