I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You, by Ally Carter

I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You by Alley Carter is about Cammie Morgan who attends the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. To the general public, this is just another private school for upper class girls in Roseville, Virginia. What they don't know is that it's actually a school for girls who have qualifications of becoming a spy. They learn martial arts and almost every single language imaginable. Breaking CIA codes counts as extra credit. As a sophmore, Cammie is required to take a class called Covert Operations taught by the new teacher, Joe Solomon. Cammie and her friends are put in charge a practice mission. While on the mission, Cammie meets Josh Abrams, a student from a local high school who know nothing about Gallagher girls. To cover her identity, she creates an alter ego. Soon enough, Cammie and Jose start to fall for each other. Will Cammie and Josh be able to be together or will being a Gallagher girl be too much for this romance? Personally I liked this book. It was fast paced and I enjoyed reading it from Cammie's perspective. I would recommend this to girls looking for a romance novel. It also has a lot of action. It will keep you wanting more.

The book "I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You" is about protagonist Cammie Morgan, a spy at the "Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women". During the book, Cammie attempts to balance her conflicting spy and romance life. Cammie's mother is the headmistress at the academy, which leaves extremely high expectations for Cammie. Cammie is very good at blending into the environment around her, however, she feels very seen when a boy named Josh notices her on a mission in town. Then everything changes. She gets to know him, even though that is against everything she ever learned at the academy.

I truly enjoyed the book, and I believe anyone who appreciates a good romcom or drama would find it entertaining. At times it could take a slow turn, but at others, it could be fast and swift read. This book had a strong format yet, at times the writing was vague and unclear about what the author meant. The mood was carefree and comedic at the beginning, but throughout a good chunk of the book, there was a constant realistic worry lingering. This book was women empowering where characters were underestimating Cammie and her friends' abilities. In conclusion, I would recommend the book for an age range of 10-14.
