Quick Summary
Lindsay Moran ditched her boring pre-med path to become a CIA officer, and her hilarious, no-holds-barred retelling of spies, surveillance, and office politics proves that the funniest people in intelligence are the ones who eventually blow their own cover. Readers get a front-row seat to the absurdities of spy training, overseas assignments gone wrong, and the chaotic reality of trying to act normal while carrying a secret identity. If your kid loved the "Alex Rider" series but is ready for something even wilder, this real-life spy memoir delivers all the intrigue with an added punch of raw honesty. This book is best for high school juniors and seniors (ages 16-18) who can handle strong language and want an unfiltered look behind the CIA's curtain.
