I didn't really enjoy Audrey Wait! But I still decided to give Also Known As a chance. And I am sooooo glad I did!!! Also Known As was such an exciting book. With enjoyable characters and a really interesting plot. Maggie was so cute, and a really exciting character. As a spy she was able to do all these things that (in my opinion) are AWESOME! The relationships throughout the book were pretty believable Maggie's parents really cared about their daughter, but also were a little bit overprotective (does that make sense?). Maggie becomes a friend to the class "outcast" which shows her character was not to just be in the "in" crowd, but to have a true friend. The romance between Maggie and Jesse was so adorable. But a bit to instantaneous for me, I am not a big fan of insta-love. But I still thought that the romance was really cute and fun. The plot kept going throughout the book, with pretty much no slow parts. The author managed to put in Romance, Adventure, Mystery, and an Awesome spy story in the same book, and she NAILED IT! The plot flowed nicely and everything made sense. I was not left with any questions at the end of the book. But was still thrilled to learn that there is a sequel coming out (Going Rogue). Definitely recommend this book to fans of Ally Carter, and really anyone who enjoys adventure and romance! I would read this again and am really looking forward to the sequel! 4.5/5  |

I didn't care much for Audrey Wait! that much either. It doesn't stand out. I'm glad you liked this book better, though. It seems like a fun read. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you liked this one! I actually enjoyed Audrey, Wait! more, but Also Known As is such a fun book as well. I think the reason I preferred her debut was just expectations; I hoped this book would be full of Ally Carter-esque espionage and was a bit disappointed by the spying aspect, which seemed a lot more low-stakes than Carter's. Still, Benway's witty writing style is brilliant and I adored Maggie's voice as well. I hope you get to pick up the sequel ASAP!
