Funny spoof
What a fun read! A crazy addictive spoof of the spy worlds of James Bond, Jason Bourne, George Smiley and Ethan Hunt but featuring a new hero: gay Andrew Birnbaum and his fellow gay spies, the Tuxedo Spies.

Andrew Birnbaum is recruited by his friend to join the Tuxedo Society, an exclusive society for queer men and women, who are dedicated to saving the world.
Andrew is an unemployed and lazy actor and can do voices and the Tuxes need that. Through a series of madcap adventures around the world, Andrew and cohorts recover diamonds, save Reata Pershing, the President's wife (AKA Michelle Obama), take down a mad grandma and other powerful enemies. Andrew is a goofball but actually turns out to be pretty at the spy thing.

The book is filled with so many spy tropes that are snarky, witty and outrageously funny to name - the reader will have no trouble recognizing them though.
It's writing at its best.

This is a book for lovers of satire or just in need of a plain good laugh-out-laugh read.
I'd like to thank NetGalley and Atria Books for allowing me access to this ARC.
