Synopsis

The bestselling author of Anatomy of Misfit and The Fall of Butterflies, Andrea Portes, is back with another irresistible snarky heroine in Liberty.  What is a hero? Paige Nolan knows. Edward Raynes, the young man who exposed America’s unconstitutional spying techniques, is a hero, even if half the dum-dums in the country think he’s a traitor. Or Paige's parents, journalists who were captured by terrorists while telling stories of the endangered and oppressed. They were heroes, too. Were. . . or are—no one has ever told Paige if they’re still alive, or dead.Not heroes? Anyone in the government who abandoned her parents, letting them rot somewhere halfway across the world. And certainly not Paige herself, who despite her fluency in five languages and mastery of several obscure martial arts (thanks, Mom!) could do nothing to save them.Couldn’t, that is, until she’s approached by Madden Carter, an undercover operative who gives her a mission—fly to Russia, find Raynes, and discover what other government secrets he’s stockpiled. In exchange, he’ll reopen the case on her missing parents. She’s given a code name and a cover as a foreign exchange student.Who is a hero? Not Paige Nolan, but maybe, just maybe, Liberty is.

Goodreads review by Ana

Hay dos tres. He de decir que el personaje de Paige (la protagonista) es muy interesante y bien estructurado, me gusta la personalidad del mismo, pero llegó un punto en la lectura que me hizo pensar ¿en serio? Porque tantas acciones necesarias, además siento que hay huecos en la trama. Y no se resuel......more

Goodreads review by Madison

Liberty - The Spy Who (Kind of) Liked Me is absolutely hilarious. It is a super fun, caper of a spy novel, with an instantly likeable protagonist. Paige Nolan's parents, high profile journalists, are missing. They may be dead, Paige was never told. So when Paige is recruited from her (mostly) mundane......more

Goodreads review by Vivian

Tof boek! Ik vind het heel verfrissend dat het een stukje volwassener is dan de meeste YA’s door Paiges kickass-karakter en de politieke issues die centraal staan. De schrijfstijl is vlot en geestig en ik werd aangenaam verrast door de hoeveelheid spanning, romantiek en emotie in het verhaal. Agatha......more
