Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover by Ally Carter
5.0
Trigger warnings: violence, attempted kidnapping, espionage, lying, grief, injuries, strained parent-child relationship
March 2024: I am absolutely flying through these books now that I've committed to finishing my re-read. This book is where I start kind of losing my recollection of when I read it as a young kid. I remember most of what happens, but not everything and it only gets worse from here. This is also definitely where this series takes on a darker turn. Cammie realizes she has to start using her training in real life and what that means when it comes to her and her friends safety. There's also a lot more of the secrets and lying part of espionage in this book, something that makes it really difficult for us readers considering we only have the main character's perspective to guide us. This time around this is one of the thing that most frustrates me; the idea that Cammie can't know the truth about what's truly happening around her for her safety, but it ends up creating more problems than solutions. Considering the type of personality she is, it seems to me that the adults would relax some of the rules after awhile, but no haha. Maybe it's my inner tween coming out, but some teenagers are trustworthy and should be treated as such! I am not prepared for the second half of this series, pray for me ya'll.
