Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover by Ally Carter
4.0
I really really wish these books existed (and I had discovered them) when I was younger. I can't imagine how incredibly happy my ten year old me would have been with books like this. Ten year old me was bored at school. I was way ahead of everyone else and I was constantly held back. If I could have read about gifted girls from all over the world going to a special school in America to learn how to become the best spies in the world, I would have prayed that the school existed.
What I really liked is that this third book was once again quite different from the previous two books. For a moment I was afraid Carter would eventually play the same trick again, but I was happily proved wrong. In the previous two books we saw the girls using their skills in a more playful manner. They were growing and learning, but when they messed up it wasn't too bad. In this book things are getting way more serious. Things are getting more real.
That also means that the love drama from the previous two books has been moved to a seat at the very very back. There is a short moment where Cammie runs into Josh and there are some instances with Zach, but Cammie, and the others, don't have much time for romance. They have better things to do. Like making sure that their best friend is still at school and alive at the end of her father's presidential campaign.
Despite the fact that it's way more serious now, the book is still very light and easy to read. On top of that Carter doesn't forget that one of the strong elements of this series is the coolness of the school. So, we still witness some epic classes and lessons and we are also confronted with possible futures for our girls! And like in the previous books, those classes and lessons learned come in quite handy when dealing with real criminals.
I'm really excited to dive into the next book! I have a feeling this will only get better and better!
