A Review of I’d Tell You That I Love You, But Then I’d Have To Kill You by Ally Carter
Spies.
For most people, that means James Bond and/or Jason Bourne.
However, after reading I’d Tell You That I Love You, but Then I’d Have To Kill You, by Ally Carter, I know think of something much more different — spy school.
Because the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women (read: the Gallagher Academy for Female Spies-in-Training) isn’t what it looks like — as opposed to being a snobbish boarding school for rich jerks, it’s a school for young trainee spies from all over America.
Cammie Morgan is like those girls, only slightly different — because her mom isn’t just a CIA operative, she’s headmistress of the Gallagher Academy.
When on a mission, Cammie “the Chameleon” is spotted by a normal boy — a certain Josh. Through a series of dramatic and certainly hilarious incidents, Cammie and Josh become…sorta-maybe-almost a couple.
Of course, the staff at the Gallagher Academy would (and could) kill Cammie and Josh if they found out.
So it’s up to Cammie, Bex (the first non-American Gallagher Girl), a little genius named Liz, and snobby Macey (who happens to “speak Boy”) to navigate Cammie’s relationship with a boy that can never know the truth about her.
