Other Titles in the Series: Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy, Don’t Judge a Girl by Her Cover
Cammie Morgan is a student at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, a fairly typical all-girls school - typical, that is, if every school taught advanced martial arts in PE and the latest in chemical warfare in science, and students received extra credit for breaking CIA codes in computer class. The Gallagher Academy might claim to be a school for geniuses, but it’s really a school for spies.
Even though Cammie is fluent in fourteen languages and capable of killing a man seven different ways with her bare hands, she has no idea what to do when she meets an ordinary boy who thinks she’s an ordinary girl.
Sure, she can tap his phone, hack into his computer, or track him through town with the skill of a real “pavement artist” - but can she manoeuvre a relationship with someone who can never know the truth about her?
I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have to Kill You is a fun story of a group of very special girls at a very special boarding school.
I loved all of the spy gadgets and adventures in this book. The secret codes, undercover missions and hidden identities were so much fun to read about. It made me want to be a spy at times! But one of the best things about I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have to Kill You was how much more to the story there was than just the spies-in-training.
Cammie really is an average teenager, well, with the exceptions of being able to speak fourteen languages and floor a grown man effortlessly. She worried about her future, wanted a normal family (at times) and went gaga over cute boys. I also noticed something while reading this: the ordinary girls want to be special and the special girls always want to be ordinary. No one’s happy with their lot!
I thoroughly enjoyed I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have to Kill You so I’ll definitely be getting myself a copy of Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy to see what Cammie and the girls get up to next.
