I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You by Ally Carter
5.0
The Gallagher Girls: I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have To Kill You by Ally Carter is an amazing book. This is the first book of the series Gallagher Girls, and it was about a girl named Cameron Morgan, or also known as Cammie. She goes to an all girls’ spy school and she must keep it a secret, even if it means keeping it from the guy she likes. In this book, Cammie faces her most dangerous mission, falling in love. Josh Abrams was the first boy who actually noticed her during her first mission. Cammie was always seemed to blend into the background, that explains why her code name is “Chameleon”. She was surprised when Josh talked to her, but at that time she was on a mission, so she avoided him. He thought she’s just an ordinary girl who is homeschooled, and has a cat named Suzie, but that's not the truth. Cammie runs into Josh a few times after they meet, and they start to have strong feelings for one another, especially after they start sending notes to each other under a rock at the gazebo. Josh has a friend named Dillon, he was a threat to the Gallagher Academy, Cammie’s school. Josh and Cammie went on a few dates. They went to dances, the movies, and the gazebo. They really liked each other but a spy dating an ordinary boy wasn’t going to end so well. Cammie and her friends, Liz, Bex, and Macey, all help in this dangerous mission of hers. Eventually at the end, Cammie forces herself to break up with Josh because of Dillon, but right when Josh leaves, she gets kidnapped. It was a test from her teachers. Josh had saw what had happen and intended to save her. He soon finds out that she’s a spy, but Cammie’s mom gives him a brainwashing tea, erasing everything he knew about spies. He still remembers his relationship with Cammie though. After that, Josh and Cammie were officially over. There was no longer any worries of threats. Overall, I think the book was excellent, and it deserves a 9/10 rating. The beginning was a bit slow, but I’m glad I didn’t stop reading because it became really interesting. The author uses a lot of the bolded fonts to show what Cammie observes. I would definitely recommend this book for any girl that would enjoy a spy-romance type of book. I’d recommend this to girls because it’s from a girl’s perspective and sometimes there are things boys will never understand. I enjoyed this book, and I’m looking forward to the second book
