I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You
I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill Youby Ally CarterIt's almost been a month since I read this book, I am behind in my reviewing yet again. I really enjoyed this book, it was clever and had a pretty fun cast of characters. The humour reminded me of Michele Jaffe's Bad Kitty, though not as laugh out loud. (I think I prefer Jaffe's writing.) This was a book purchase I made during my Book Buying Blackout Period. I know, I shouldn't have, I even picked it up and put it back no less than 4 times before I broke down and went to the cash with it. It's one of those books that was haunting me on book blogs, and it sounded like something I would really enjoy - and I did.Cammie Morgan is enrolled in a private all-girl school called Gallagher Academy. Most kids in the area think it's a school for rich, snobbish girls, but it's really a top secret spy school and Cammie's mother is the Headmistress. Cammie's secret life is put in jeopardy when she falls for a local boy named Josh. She sneaks out to meet him downtown and has created a double life for herself since she can't really tell him the truth.There isn't really a huge, dramatic plot twist or anything in this book. It's just cute and funny and an entertaining read. There is a nice dynamic between Cammie and her mother, trying to be just that - mother and daughter and not Spy and spy in training or Headmistress and student. It's not easy going through all of this at the age of fifteen.I see from the back of my copy of the book that it's a Soon to be a Disney Movie! book. Which could be fun, if they get the casting right. I enjoyed this enough that I will likely buy the next book once it hits the shelves in paperback (Cross my Heart and Hope to Spy). I am tempted now, but I make it a point to not buy hardcovers, especially when my other books in the series are NOT.The Gallagher Girls series
