5/21/2023 0 Comments The love interest by cale dietrich![]() ![]() ![]() Even if you just take the story at face value, it is original, fast-paced, and entertaining.īut there is so much more going on than in your average YA romance. It’s both wary and earnest at the same time. The genius of this book is how it blatantly mocks clichéd tropes while you are being sucked into a story about the very thing being mocked. While there is a touch of a Hunger Games vibe in that the good boy Caden and the bad boy Dylan will fight to the death for Juliet’s affections, I assure you, this is like nothing you have ever read before. What the organization is not prepared for is for their spies to actually fall in love with the wrong target. The winner gets the girl and will report back to the organization on her activities as necessary. Their mission is to infiltrate the girl’s life and win her affections. ![]() What the girl doesn’t know is that an evil, secret organization has groomed these boys to be stereotypical Nice Boy/Bad Boy spies. You are probably thinking to yourself that this is pretty common as far as plots go, in fact it’s one of the most recognizable YA tropes around.īut all is not what it seems. One is the gorgeous, smart, aw-shucks boy next door (I am picturing Scott Eastwood) and the other is the moody, quintessential bad boy (complete with leather jacket and motorcycle). Two boys compete for the affection of a girl. An action-packed, sci-fi / romance / YA book that takes the standard love triangle plot and shatters it with a modern-day twist-I loved this book! ![]()
