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

I recently read this book. Not my usual style and I expected to hate it. Turns out, though, that it was a fun, easy read.

Cammie attends a private high school for genius girls. The curriculum: PhD level chemistry, 14 languages spoken with various accents, how to decode an encrypted message, hacking into someone's computer, and of course, covertly trailing a paranoid teacher.

But the one thing not on the curriculum is understanding boys.

What I liked about this book: The fresh voice and conversational tone. The little details made me laugh.

I've added those to my to-read list, Heather. I've never read a book in this style before, but I really enjoyed it. So now I want to go out and read some others like it.

I think one of the reasons I enjoyed this book so much was that it didn't overdo the romance part. It was more humorous than sappy, as Cammie applies all her spy skills to her love life.

Have you read the other Gallagher girls books? #4 is on its way to my house right now. I can't wait to read it. I also love the voice and tone of the books, and even more, my 15 year old daughter loves them, and they are clean!!!!

[Laura]

Such a nice refreshing thing to find clean stuff for teens!

[Rita]

No, I haven't, Michelle, but I ordered the 2nd Gallagher book from the library. Can't wait for it to come in!!!

Yes, they are clean, but not stodgily so.

[Michelle]

yeah, they're way cute, you'll love the others too. If I were a teenager, I would want to go to that school!

[Rita]

I'm not a teenager, and I still want to go to that school.

[Michelle]

Hee Hee, me too ;)

[Michelle]

#4 left me dying for the next one!!!! Love Love Love these Gallagher girls!

#4 was the best. I had read all 4 back-to-back and then had withdrawal symptoms. Anyone know when #5 comes out?
