I received this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.A fun and original story, with great characters.I've never read a book with illustrations/comics before and it was rather delightful. I found the comics funny, they added a bit of insight to the story. The story itself was enjoyable and flowed well. I was just hoping for more of it. A second book would be nice, I'd love to see more of the relationships that were started in this book.  I had no trouble connecting with Sasha, she's a very likeable/talented character. I loved seeing her as an undercover agent, she's mature beyond her years and that is something I love in a young main character. Her ability was unique, not something I've read before and her desire to fit in and be normal makes her easily relatable. The supporting characters were also great. Vivian is amazing, Sebastian and Smacker are both swoon worthy and Chelsea, well you can't go wrong with a southern belle. I figured out the plot twist a good bit before it happened. It was still a great twist to the story, even though I did see it coming. The only thing I disliked with this book was the French conversations. I know Sasha didn't understand them but it would have been nice if they were translated. I felt like I was reading gibberish. I was really happy when she started pulling out the translation book. I 'may' have pulled up a translator a couple times, only to see what Sebastien was saying though.  All in all, this was an enjoyable read, perfect for lovers of YA.  I hope the author decides to write a follow-up  book, I'd definitely be on board to read it.Just a side note; I think the book is a bit over priced. 4.99 is just too much for a book that is under 200 pages.
