I am absolutely obsessed with this book! I couldn’t put it down and finished it in about five hours. Kitty is such a likable character, I instantly connected with her. The Secret Life of Kitty Granger has an interesting plot, and I appreciate that Falksen paid attention to historical accuracy. The book takes place in 1960’s London, and Kitty, a 16 year old working class girl with autism, is given the opportunity to be a spy through a strange turn of events. Kitty’s first assignment: spy on a Lord that may be aiding fascists attempting to take over the government. This book is quick, with just the right touch of 60’s flair, and several wonderful feminist teaching moments, my favorite being “I think you’ll find, Tommy, that girls can be interested in all sorts of things, only we don’t talk about ’em’ cause people keep tellin’ us we’re not s’posed to like ’em.” I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys spy novels, YA fiction, or just those looking for a quick fun read!

I got a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley before publication so that I could give an honest review.
