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

I'd had the Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter recommended to me for awhile, but every time I looked at the first book--I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You--I'd be turned off by the title and cover.  (Totally lame that I was judging a book by it's cover, I know.  But it just seemed really teeny-bopper-ish.)  But I really needed a book to read, and a friend recommended it again, so I decided to try it this time.  The book is about Cammie, a teenage girl who attends the Gallagher Academy.  Outsiders think it's a snotty prep school for rich girls, but Cammie and the other students are really part of a school for geniuses learning to be spies.  When Cammie accidentally meets an ordinary boy outside the school walls, she decides to just pretend to be an ordinary girl.  Their relationship grows, but Cammie has to keep up with the lies.

This was a really fun read.  It was totally teenager-y and chick flick-y, but I enjoyed it.  I was really rooting for Cammie and Josh's cute relationship and wanted it to work out.  The plot and characters were very entertaining.  I would read more books in the series next time I need a book to read.  (The book was also clean/appropriate, so I like that I could recommend it without reservation to teenage girls I know.)
