Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy (Gallagher Girls)
Date undefinedI was disappointed in this book. It's still an ok book overall, but I didn't find it as fun or engaging as the initial one.
Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy (Gallagher Girls)
Date undefinedCross My Heart and Hope to Spy is even better than I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You! This second Gallagher Girls novel has more adventure, espionage, and boy questions than the first, taking everything a step further.
In this second book, find out what happens when the Gallagher Girls get some new students at their school. Will the new students blend in seamlessly or will there be deadly tension? Also, find out if Josh still remembers Cammi--and whether these two will end up back together.
If you read the first Gallagher Girls novel, the second book is a MUST!

I'm so glad I finally got my hands on this one, thanks to the library!
Overall, I like Josh more than Zach, so I was disappointed that she seemed to get over him so quickly. I also thought there'd be more about her mother, but no. The summary greatly over exaggerates this. I really hope the third book tells us more about her history, it sounds really exciting! This book did more to the character development, but it's still lacking in both writing and development, but yet again, the plot dominates.
Random bits of awesome. There was not one, but TWO, count them, TWO, Buffy references (Love how I'm catching & understanding these, EVERYWHERE). Kaitlin with a K and Caitlin with a C cracked me up cause I probably know a K/Caitlin with every possible spelling of the name. I was glad that we got to see Josh at all, cause at the end of the last book & the beginning of this one, I was doubting it, not so happy to see him with DeeDee, sweet as she is. [Although I kinda wish we could get her side of the story]. Wonder if we'll see him in the next book, or if his story's been told. Carter did a great job planting those clues making us all suspect Zach, I did not see that ending coming, not at all.
The scene where Cammie told her mom about seeing Josh and that whole part, that was definitely the best. I love that connection of theirs, and argh, I want to learn MORE.
And come on, don't tell me I'm the only one picking up a major vibe between Cammie's mom and Mr. Solomon! Let's hope we see some more of that in the third book!
