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. . .

Random Libby loan - I'm still pleasantly surprised by the selection of my local library.

This was a super rushed read - trying to complete my challenge goal of 24 books this year. I'm happy with the 20 I did (my usual target), the 4 extra was just an idealistic plan of 2 books per month.

I didn't quite appreciate the back and forth in timelines, but I guess it was needed in order to build up the suspense. I'm a little sceptical that the Boss team didn't have their own IT techie guy though. I mean, if she had been contacting an IT techie guy, it should somehow get caught in the surveillance?

The ending wrapped up nicely, although felt fairy-tale-ish. Will there ever be such a perfect ending?
