Cammie is a sophomore in high school; she is in a special, secretive girls school training to be a spy. She meets a boy named Josh that she begins sneaking out to meet up with for dates. She and her roommates dive into all of Josh's personal buiness (email, trash, etc.) to find out more information about him. Cammie struggles to find a balance between being a spy and following in her parents' footsteps and doing her own thing. She doesn't know what life is like outside of being a spy. She gets a taste of it in the world she makes up and describes to Josh. She cannot tell him about her true identity, so she makes up a fake family, says she is homeschooled, and has a cat named Suzie.
The book was a great idea. I enjoyed reading abou tthe author's world of what an all girls spy-training school would be like. Sometimes, the protagonist, Cammie, came off as a little too know-it-all, too girly, too immature. I had a hard time remembering that Camy was supposed to be 15 or 16 years old. I remember myself at that age, and I wasn't quite so ignorant about some things. I got tired of hearing Cammie's thoughts about everything as she reasoned through situations. I just wish that the author had aged her a bit more and made her seem less like a junior high student that had her first crush.
