The Blonde Who Came In from the Cold by Ally Carte

You know the meme, “some men will literally (fill in the blank) instead of going to therapy”? That’s Alex. Alex would rather cut herself off from everyone and everything to become a spy and spend years in deep cover than go to therapy. And you know I love her for it. She is competent and a mess.
