⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

QOTD: What makes the difference between a 4.5 and 5 star read for you?

Honestly I can never articulate it 😂 it’s just a feeling.

Review below

Thank you St Martin’s Press and Netgalley for the eARC. All thoughts are my own.

This was such a great book. I absolutely love the concept of a romance wrapped up in a scavenger hunt and it did not disappoint.

I adored how much we got to know about both of our MC’s and what makes them tick. There’s so many layers to them, so many small moments alongside the big that shaped who they were. I loved how open they were with each other, how quick they shared with each other, and yet how much there was still to discover right until the end. I loved that they could talk about their sexuality; Edie about being a lesbian and how that was growing up, Cosima about being demisexual (and possibly also demiromantic?) and experiencing all these feelings for the first time. I loved that Cosima loved Edie WITH her ADHD, not in spite of it. I loved them so much.

The scavenger hunt was a lot of fun and made this book really difficult to put down. I kept wanting to know where it was heading, what would happen at the end, would it be a happy ending or a sad one. I loved every moment of that journey.

If I Told You, I'd Have to Kill You by Mae Marvel

I found out before reading that Mae Marvel is a pen name for Ruthie Knox and Annie Mare. I recently read their book “Big Name Fan” so I was surprised to see this book coming out so near to that one! I will say I wasn’t that enamored with “Big Name Fan” so when I found out this book has the same writers, I went into it with lowered expectations. That being said, this book was such a delightful surprise!

The romance and chemistry between Yardley and KC is delicious and I was rooting so hard for them. Usually, romance books have two characters meet and fall in love throughout the book. But in this one they are already in love, just having issues, and have recently broken up. Working their issues out meant that instead of realizing their feelings for the first time they fall deeper and deeper in love. I enjoyed watching their beautiful connection grow and strengthen. I love that this book didn’t have the typical third-act breakup that other romance novels have. Plus, the book takes a typical spy premise (along the lines of Mr. And Mrs. Smith) and makes it queer. The two of them being in the same field and not knowing it is such a fun way for us to meet the characters. The build-up and payoff of the heist are entertaining and pulled me in! I said up until 4am to finish reading because I needed to know what happened.

If you already like Ruthie Knox or Annie Mare you will enjoy this! If you were skeptical about their work before, give this a chance! If you like romance, especially with the extra flair of espionage, this is a great read!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the digital ARC!
