I'd+Tell+You+I+Love+You,+But+Then+I'd+Have+To+Kill+You(AM)

Review by: Annie M. I read the book __I’d tell you I love you but then I’d have to kill you__, by Ally Carter. I will be talking about the exposition, conflict and if I would recommend this book or not. I hope you enjoy my facts and opinions. First the exposition is quite simple; the story takes place in the present day town of Roseville, Virginia. The main character is Cammie Morgan, whom attends Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. This academy is an all-girl spy and genius school. At Gallagher Academy Cammie learns “martial arts in PE, how to use the latest chemical warfare in science, and show she can receive extra credit for breaking CIA codes in computer class”. Overall, Cammie gets to learn about covert and spy operations as a freshman in high school. What fun! Second is the conflict. In __I’d tell you I love you but then I’d have to kill you__ the conflict is mostly internal. You see, no one outside of Gallagher Academy is supposed to know what the schools is about and who is attending the school. This becomes a problem for Cammie when she falls in love with a guy named Josh. Josh does not attend Gallagher Academy, but attends the public high school. Cammie met Josh on her first practice mission at an ordinary town carnival and he has no idea who she really is. “Sure she can tap his phone, hack into his computer or track him with the skill of a real pavement artist…” as according to the back of the book. However if you add all of this up, she can never tell Josh that she is a spy in training. Oooh…that has to stink like cow manure! Last but not least - my recommendation. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK! Now, consider the fact this is coming from a person who hates realistic fiction and thinks it’s down right boring. However I LOVED IT and would recommend it to any teenage girl, here is why. The setting and theme of this book totally gets you interested and catches you off guard. Name another book written about empowering girls and how one of the characters is a female spy. HOW COOL! I also liked how the author went into detail about Cammie’s friends because Macy, Bex and Liz are anything but boring. Well that sums up the exposition, conflict and my recommendation of __I’d tell you I love you but then I’d have to kill you__. Once again I hope you enjoyed my facts and opinions. If I ever told you how the book ends, then I’d have to kill you. (Just kidding, I wouldn’t do a thing like that.)
