This is also where we meet the little acrobat Rosie. It’s kind of mind-blowing to think that all these kids represent different countries and could cause a war due to some stupid teenage mistake because of what they represent. (Comment below when you realized you wanted Noah as your best friend too!)Īfterwards Noah takes Grace to a party being held in the land that used to be Iran and warns her to stay away from the building beneath the cliffs that Iran still owns. But you might want to do it while you are”-he leaps back to sand beside me-“ in the United States.” In-” “Is this the part where I hit you?” Noah raises one finger. “In the United States.” Another jump across the threshold.

“Out of the United States.” Quickly, he jumps back toward me. Then, with both feet, he leaps onto the sidewalk. “First lesson.” Noah broadens his stance, taking his place firmly on the embassy side of the threshold. (Bonus points for being Brazilian!) I already knew I was going to love him when this happened: (11%) “Okay,” he says. Also, we learn that Noah is half Israeli and Brazilian.

Strangely enough Noah isn’t fazed by this and informs Grace that he’s there to be her best friend. Being an army brat does have its perks, like easily kicking butt half-asleep when some stranger breaks into your room. Oh how I laughed at Grace and Noah’s first encounter.

Like Grace said, “ doesn’t mean to get into trouble. She actually ends up accidentally punching the Russian ambassador when she tries to run away from Alexei-the Russian ambassador’s son, her brother’s best friend, and named “babysitter.” Even though I wanted to laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation, I found myself cringing while trying to hold in my laughter. Honestly, Grace is a mess when she arrives at her grandfather’s in Embassy Row. She knows that the scarred man is her mother’s killer. Grace has been through therapy, and she’s tried to forget the scarred face etched into her memory. The problem is that no one believes that a scarred man was responsible for her mother’s death. Not only had her mother died, but she witnessed her mother’s murder (emphasis on murder). When we begin to learn about Grace I felt very sympathetic towards her character. This was an insane read that had me guessing the whole time. WOW! That was a ride! I already said this in my review, but Ally Carter has done it again.
