Summary: All Laurel wants to do is spend more time with her dad. He's a workaholic and she feels like she never sees him. Laurel starts bugging her dad to let her have a summer job at his company. She figures she'll at least get to spend time with him on the commute. After weeks of bugging, he caves. His company is hosting an internship scholarship competition. The winning candidate will get $100,000 to go to their dream school. Laurel will be the assistant to the interns, plus the eyes and ears for the judges.

The more time Laurel spends with the interns, the more conflicted she feels. How can she help decide on a winner when they all deserve it? There's one intern, a boy, that might just cause a conflict of interest for her. Laurel is in a tough spot with her spy status. A tough spot indeed. 

My Thoughts: I received a free review copy of Spies, Lies, and Allies from Entangled Teen through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are 100% honest and 100% my own. I was also lucky enough to be on a Blog Tour for this, and you can check out my post here! I was really psyched to get a chance to read and review it.

I really enjoyed this cute little book. It gave me the feels. It was pretty adorable. It was contemporary goodness.

I really enjoyed the Dad Love. I thought it was nice that Laurel wanted to spend more time with her dad, that she loved her dad. So many YA books I read have teenage characters that have to be grown. They have parents who aren't in the picture, or maybe they're mean. It was just nice to see a loving family situation portrayed. It made me grateful that I have my Dad around. And the author acknowledgements just brought that Dad Love all the more importance and weight. I like that Laurel loved her family.

The Carlos situation was adorable. The cute little romance gave me all the feels. It was precious. Carlos is definitely book boyfriend material. I liked the awkwardness between them, the chemistry, the conflict, it was a lot of fun to read.

I also liked how Laurel was a nerd. There were a ton of Star Wars references, a little Harry Potter. She liked reading, cosplaying, and going to Comic Con. As a nerd myself, she was relatable. She was also extremely relatable in her awkwardness. I do want to know what book she was reading throughout the story. Is it real? It sure sounded like something I would love to read.

This book was just adorable. I enjoyed it a lot. It was fun to read. I'm glad I got the chance to check it out. I'd love to read something else by Lisa Brown Roberts because she can tell a cute story. Would I recommend it? Yes! If you're looking for a light, fun romance story, then pick up Spies, Lies, and Allies, it's cute!
