The Love Interest by @caledietrich

By Pamelascott

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.

The Love Interest by @caledietrich

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.

I've read a lot of love triangles and wanted to read something different for this challenge. I loved the premise. Unfortunately the book did not meet my high expectations. The book starts off well and seems to veer off into nonsense territory. The characters were a little cheesy and a bit OTT but not in a good way. My heart sank a little. The book tries hard to do so many things; to rip apart The Love Tringle cliché and turn it into something shiny and new, make gay characters important and not just a side gig and to scoff in general at fictional and especially YA fictional stereotypes. Unfortunately, it does none of these things particularly well. I also felt like the characters were not developed enough. Juliet and Natalie especially are little more than plot devices. I loved the ending though, things go all Death Star crazy.
