About the book: 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 in seven different ways, 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 maneuver a relationship with someone who can never know the truth about her?
Cammie Morgan may be an elite spy-in-training, but in her sophomore year, she's on her most dangerous mission--falling in love.
Quote of the Book: "'...tell Suzie she's a lucky cat.' Have sexier words ever been spoken? I seriously think not!" -Cameron "Cammie" Morgan.
My thoughts and opinion: I just want to start off by saying how great Cammie's outfit looks. Not that I would ever want to wear a skirt, but it appears really clean and sophisticated! And I just love plaid; so the skirt is very cool, but short! The ransom, cut-off-of-a-magazine words in the title is cool and whimsical, too!
I liked reading in Cammie's point of view because well, she's attending Gallagher Academy and that's a spy school so how is that not fun and awesome? Mr. Solomon. Why do only books have hot male teachers because I can tell you guys that that never happens in reality. However, I would not be comfortable thinking about my mom and my teacher have an interest in each other. That's just so wrong on so many levels. And I'd like to try one of Dr. Fibs's experiments! Ooh! Evapopaper sounds cool since you can eat something that was written on to keep it secret.
Onto the characters. I love each of them differently and I don't think I dislike any too much. Well I guess I hated Dillon, but guys like him are inevitable in stories like these. And plus, it makes his friend, Josh, look way better.
Speaking of Josh, why can't Cammie and Josh be with each other without dumb complications like her being a spy and him being a regular guy who can't know about her true identity? Goodness. I did like their history and the events and things that led up to their relationship. Also, of course, their relationship was wonderful (while it lasted). I just didn't think the book focused much on the actual relationship; it was more on the stalking and digging through his personal information (not to mention, digging through his trash!)
I think Josh is the nicest, sweetest, (cutest), most gentlemanly, down-to-earth character I have ever read! Unless I read about another guy that's better than him at the manners department. So, I definitely was heartbroken when she had to end the relationship. That had to be done because as I was reading, I even thought that the lies were too much! Oh, but my heart was temporarily taped together when Josh appeared and told Cammie he called 911 because he saw her being kidnapped. And then he surprised her by reappearing with a bulldozer! Hahaha, that part was hilarious because I did NOT expect Josh to do such a thing.
I enjoyed reading about another friendship and in this book, it was Cammie, Liz, Bex, and just now there's Macey. It was awesome to read about Liz, a character who is intelligent and good with computers (like hacking into emails) and who is friends with the main character! I felt like I could relate to Liz. And then there's Bex who is the tough, destroying-your-boyfriend-if-he-hurts-you friend and you know she will have your back (in this case, it might be literally!) Finally, I thought Macey was out of place at first, but Macey is the diva in the group! I need to make friends with a girl like her so I could get some fashion tips and advice.
I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You was a nice, funny read and I enjoyed it. The characters were really different and separate in their own ways. I wish I could say that I read this book in one sitting, but school kind of got in the way. Read this book, but be sure to read it someplace where you know you won't be seen; reading this book must be done in secret!
