Call me naïve, but when I was a girl - watching James Bond and devouring Harriet the Spy - all I wanted was to grow up to be a spy. Unlike most kids, I didn't lose my secret-agent aspirations. So as a bright-eyed, idealistic college grad, I sent my resume to the CIA.
Getting in was a story in itself. I peed in more cups than you could imagine, and was nearly condemned as a sexual deviant by the staff psychologist. My roommates were getting freaked out by government investigators lurking around, asking questions about my past.
Finally, the CIA was training me to crash cars into barriers at 60 mph. Jump out of airplanes with cargo attached to my body. Survive interrogation, travel in alias, lose a tail. One thing they didn't teach us was how to date a guy while lying to him about what you do for a living. That I had to figure out for myself.
Then I was posted overseas. And that's when the real fun began.

This book is the equivalent of that opportunity to reflect and understand what the life would be like for anyone considering that career. Is it a good path for you personally? There’s not a right or wrong answer…just knowing yourself and whether you are still drawn to the career after reading something more balanced than what you get through fiction and popular culture. For me personally, I’ve learned I can think in shades of grey, but it’s a lot harder to live those complexities.
I simultaneously recognize how critical intelligence is (I was in tears during her recounting of 9/11), while realizing that I wouldn’t have been a good fit for that career. When 9/11 came, I regretted not applying. I was so angry and wanted to fight back. I was also utterly miserable because I’d ended up in the corporate world, and that’s not a good fit for me either. However, this book makes me glad I didn’t apply to the CIA, and I appreciated the opportunity to put myself in the author’s shoes and live my decision differently through her eyes. It’s just as well sometimes, that there is a road not taken.
