singularity 's review for:
I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You
by Ally Carter
"Something told me the universe couldn't handle both Morgan women weeping at the same time, so I sat there stoically, letting my mother be the weak one for a little while, taking my turn on duty."
this book. you guys, this book. i wasn't sure how to rate it, it was a 5-star read for me, but when i think of this tiny part that made me want to pull my hair off...i've decided to go for a 4.5. So, 4.5 stars it is—except, oh, gr doesn't have a .5 rating system! whatever.
to put it plainly, i enjoyed it more than i think i could. right after finishing [b:The Summer of Chasing Mermaids|22840182|The Summer of Chasing Mermaids|Sarah Ockler|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1406666121s/22840182.jpg|42396868], i figured i needed a light-hearted and fun read before diving into [b:Finnikin of the Rock|4932435|Finnikin of the Rock (Lumatere Chronicles, #1)|Melina Marchetta|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1346007613s/4932435.jpg|4998084]. after finishing [b:Some Kind of Perfect|26148181|Some Kind of Perfect (Calloway Sisters, #4.5; Addicted, #3.5)|Krista Ritchie|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1445205723s/26148181.jpg|46103345] a few weeks ago, i decided i could do without any pain for a little while. i was at the bookstore just yesterday, saw this series on the shelf, remembered that it was really hyped at some point because of some challenge on tumblr, then i was like, screw it i'm going to read this no one's stopping me. so i did, and i love it!
this book was hilarious. i read it when i was on the train on my way home and i couldn't keep a straight face throughout the whole journey. i can't even find the proper words to describe it but i love a good laugh and this book grant me more than one.
i love cammie and her friends (liz, bex and even macey.) i love the gallagher academy. honestly, i love anything spies, and add teenage girls who trained together and formed a sisterhood into the mix, i'm sold. i'd say this was the light read i needed and i'm happy i've chosen this book. i heard that this series gets better with each book and i'd be lying if i said i wasn't excited to read the rest of it.
Spoiler
few things to note:i. i was surprised we got a glimpse of cammie's mother at her most vulnerable—though cammie didn't approach her, it was heartbreaking to see her grieving on her own and for cammie to realize the why just...that was such a powerful/sad moment to witness.
ii. i was pulling my hair off at the anna vs. dillon's gang scene! i'm still angry and annoyed at how cammie didn't back her up. i know her reasons as to why and i found it a little bit selfish and i know, i know that people are allowed to be selfish sometimes but still (!!!!!!) that angers me more than ever and thank god liz called her out on it or else i would've done it myself.
