Zach. Sei arrivato e hai reso tutto ancora più meraviglioso.
Scherzi a parte, però, la parte più bella di questo libro resta l'incredibile amicizia fra le ragazze e quanto sono incredibilmente brave, intelligenti, forti e magnifiche come spie.

I am not sure if I will want to continue with this series. I will probably read one more book (since I needed a spy book for a challenge), but after that I will probably drop the series. Unless, of course, it changes for the better.
It was the typical formula in this book. Take one girl who thinks she is a spy, add a boy, add stupidity and such and voilà, practically the same book as the previous book. I frankly got bored and kept replacing Zach's name with that guy from the previous book. They are both dicks, so that also doesn't help.
Our main character is a spy, or well a spy in training. And while we get the continuous thing that Cammie is awesome and wonderful, I just didn't see it. She does stupid things, lets boys come between her studies and her work as a spy. She is just like any teenage girl, OMG a boy! *forgets everything around her and acts like an idiot*. It gets a bit annoying and it also made me frustrated. For a so-said awesome spy I had expected more.
The same goes for most of the school. They are all spies, but as soon as they see a boy they forget everything there is.
Zach is an enormous dick and I hated him throughout the whole book. I don't like guys who act all superior and treat girls like they do in this book.
He kept bothering and stalking Cammie, and he didn't take a no from her at all. It just got annoying.
The ending is the only thing that saved the book from a dramatical 1 star. The rest of the book is pretty much the same blabla and it is a whole lot of boring.

This was a super easy read (finished in just a couple of hours) and it was cuter than the first. Cammie still goes completely stupid in the male presence despite given to opportunity to overcome this.
In the first book only Cammie is really characterized and sadly that is the same in this book. You really see Cam grow and learn but the rest of the secondary characters are still cliched and two dimensional which is sad because I see some real potential for breakout characters in both Bex and Macey. Sadly though they were a bit underutilized.
Still it is an adorable idea, and is making out to be a cute series. But I want to see how it progresses mainly because I want to see if Carter can continue to cloak this Disney-esche espionage world she has created. Eventually these girls will have to graduate and move into the really spy world which I am sure won't be so innocent and sugar coated. What then? I am not sure anyone thought that far ahead. Classes like Culture and Assimilation and Countries of the World are fantastic and will help these kids, but what about Coercive Interrogation 101, Sniper v Up Close and Personal 202, or How To Survive Torture 303? Considering most YA books won't even talk about sexual urges I have a feeling Carter won't be addressing the real situations in this line of work.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by the "romance" in this book; I feel like over the years, Zach had kind of melded with the slew of other 'tall, dark, handsome, and dangerous' YA book boyfriends of the late 00s/early 10s era when I was in middle school and early high school, but I was wrong. Zach is actually a nice enough boy, and even though Cammie definitely likes him, the actual romance is much more of a slow burn than I thought it was, and it also always takes a back seat to the sisterhood, so I am really glad to be singing the Stan Wrong song about it!
Anyway, I FLEW through this book, and really enjoyed it, and now it's on to the next one!!
