The Love Interest

 Holy. Shit.

This book. This fucking book. Wow. It was soooo good. The premise by itself is utterly fantastic. Then Cale went and threw in that LGBT curve ball. And that one plot twist with you-know! And the other one with the-thing! Like holy freaking hell. Wow.

["There is a secret organization that cultivates teenage spies. The agents are called Love Interests because getting close to people destined for great power means getting valuable secrets.


Caden is a Nice: The boy next door, sculpted to physical perfection.
Dylan is a Bad: The brooding, dark-souled guy, and dangerously handsome.

The girl they are competing for is important to the organization, and each boy will pursue her. Will she choose a Nice or the Bad?

Both Caden and Dylan are living in the outside world for the first time. They are well-trained and at the top of their games. They have to be - whoever the girl doesn't choose will die.

What the boys don't expect are feelings that are outside of their training. Feelings that could kill them both."]

Trigger Warnings: body image shaming, body image consciousness, suicide, death, violence, mental and emotional manipulation, basically straight up human trafficking meets teenage slavery?

... Just be warned, this book (and the list of trigger warnings) messes with your head. A lot. So like...what I did...was keep reminding yourself that its fiction and to take everything negative with a grain of salt. Focus on the romance. Look forward to the happy ending part (spoiler alert, there is one).
