Only the Good Spy Young by Ally Carter
4.0

I really liked this book.
It started off badly, Cammie being really stroppy, and not much of the fun spy stuff. But as the book went on, it got better.
I like these books, they're exciting and interesting and the main characters don't know what's going on, so neither do you, so you desperately want to find out what's going on. I also love the concept of the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, I really wish that place was real. The characters in these stories are amazing, loveable people, maybe a bit stereotypical in some places. And maybe the humour is too forced sometimes, but sometimes it is funny as well.
My main problem with these books is actually the main character herself, Cammie, who seems to me to be quite stroppy sometimes. I mean, with Zach, I don't get why she was so mad all the time, and why every time she spoke to him, it was like an interrogation.
All the other characters are amazing, it's just Cammie I don't get on with particularly well with.
This book has left me feeling so frustrated, really wanting to read the next one. Although, I can see how the next book might go horribly wrong, as well, which is why I'm going to hold off and read a different book in between.
