The Truth About Books: Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy

Hey!!! So this is week two of the GG Readathon!!!!!! So we are doing book 2 in the series!!
 (This is actually the book I started on shhhhhh) I know I'm terrible but to be fair I am obsessed now and it was before I got soooo into books. 
Now without further ado:

~Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy~


Taherah Abbas
ONE WORD: ZACH

Caitlyn Crowe
ONE WORD AND GESTURE: points to self spy

Taherah Abbas
BOOM!! That's all that really needs to be said about this wonderfully perfect book but being the awesome people we are…let's elaborate ;)

Caitlyn Crowe
laughs lets save the best cough cough Zach cough for last.  How bout we start with Cammie (even though some will be repeats from last time... BUT WHO CARES)

Taherah Abbas
We definitely see an improvement and she's much more or at least a bit more knowledgeable on the do's and don'ts of dating a guy when going to a spy school.

Caitlyn Crowe
She also gets a lot more confident and pavement artist-y. Okay I don't think we touched on this last time (or maybe we did) but I think it is SOOOO awesome how she can go unnoticed in ANY crowd it is like HOLY CRAP

Taherah Abbas
THAT IS AWESOME!!! Love her code name too!!!

Caitlyn Crowe
The Chameleon way better than Macey's snicker Peacock. I also think it is so cool that she knows all the secret passage ways and stuff to through the school!

Taherah Abbas
Hey! I actually like that code name! Not as good as Chameleon but Peacock's cool and it fits Macey well. And definitely I still hope to find secret doorways behind my closets...no such luck

Caitlyn Crowe
I just want to go through old buildings to find some of my own. The only disappointment I have ever had with Cammie's pavement artistry was when Zach followed her scrunches up nose like...no, no one can be better than Cammie

Taherah Abbas
AGREED I didn't like Zach at that moment O.O

Caitlyn Crowe
Me neither! My one big problem with Cammie in this book though was that she was trying not to lie and sneak around....I mean come on! First of all YOU'RE A SPY!!!! Second of all its who you are to lie and sneak around don't deny yourself of it just because you made the wrong decision about a boy!

Taherah Abbas
I've actually never thought of it that way...hmmm a good point

Caitlyn Crowe
Now that we have denied ourselves this long LETS TALK ABOUT ZACH

Taherah Abbas
ZACH MY HEART BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL tries to pull him out of fictional world COME TO ME

Cailtyn Crowe
tries to help you get your sassy pants out here

Taherah Abbas
WE WANT YOU HERE ZACH

Caitlyn Crowe
Now that we have thoroughly creeped out our readers lets actually talk about that wonderful magical boy

Taherah Abbas
:) :) Zach is basically Bex but a guy version of her.

Caitlyn Crowe
You know what I possibly like best about Zach?

Taherah Abbas
His ability to easily manage in a tough situation?

Caitlyn Crowe
Well yes, but noooo

Taherah Abbas
Weeeell there are a bunch of other things I love about him...but what’s yours?

Caitlyn Crowe
There are a bunch for me too but these are the ones that stand out: he's a really hot, talented ass who is mysterious and intriguing in every way and knows waaaaaaay more about Cammie than anyone who isn't her (or him) should AND he's so damn smug! Like all the time, everyday. He is just never tripped up. I want to say so much more but cannot possibly put it into words he just is.

Taherah Abbas
pokes Didn't you say what you liked best? I thought it was only going to be one thing...But this works too

Caitlyn Crowe
It was going to be only one thing.....it just sorta spiraled when I started thinking about him.......

Taherah Abbas
grins That seems to happen a lot when talking about book boyfriends
OHOHOH AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I REALLYREALLY ENJOYED THEIR ALMOST KISS SCENE. HILARIOUS XD

Caitlyn Crowe
Zach was my first book boyfriend
AND YES

Taherah Abbas
Cursing in Farsi and Josh seeing them...IT WAS TOO MUCH

Caitlyn Crowe
I literally just did a little happy clap giggle squeal thing in response to that

Taherah Abbas
SAME HERE!! It was a beautiful moment/almost-kiss scene. Will never forget it

Caitlyn Crowe
How bout the kiss scene??? "I always finish what I starts" read the last page when looking for this quote and couldn't control the GIANT smile that took over my face

Taherah Abbas
SQUEALS AND JUST DIES JUST PERFECTION. JUST ZACH AND NO WORDS

Caitlyn Crowe
Because Zach is Zach and there are no other words because Zach is perfect

Taherah Abbas
TRUTH right there.
Nooooooow BLACKTHORNE
1st) LOVE the interaction/awkwardness that came with the boys coming to GG Academy.
2) THE DANCING SKILLS THEY HAD TO LEARN XD

Caitlyn Crowe
And the discord I mean what's the only thing that can stump a Gallagher Girl?? A hot (spy) boy.

Taherah Abbas
3) The dance. NEVER imagined there would ever be a dance. SO HAPPY when I read there was

Caitlyn Crowe
Omg the bra

Taherah Abbas
LOL OMG I FELT SO BAD FOR CAMMIE

Caitlyn Crowe
I love how that’s the moment Zach decides to talk to her! Oh! I was ssooooooooo irritated that he didn't tell people he was with her during the code whatever thing!!!!!!!!

Taherah Abbas
URGH >.< yeah I still don't understand why he didn't. Super irritated with him then.

Caitlyn Crowe
But then.... Zach. Backtracking a little! The ball!!!! Holy crap that was awesome!!!!!

Taherah Abbas
Love the way it still had to do with the training and how they had to act and stuff! It was awesome!

Cailtyn Crowe
YES!!!!!!!!!!  
5 STARS OMG

Taherah Abbas
5 STARS ;P Way better sequel and definitely kept me reading the series!

  2. Team Zach all day everyday! However, the whole code black thing made me want to go through the pages and punch his little face. But then I regretted that thought because he is Zach and he is perfection. Anyway,five stars! Ally Carter is simply amazing!(:

  5. Team Zach, duh!
    And omg, maybe it's just me reading into things too much (literally)
    But the part in the PE barn with Zach and Cammie and the punching bag where:
    Zach says: "I thought you liked your interludes secret and mysterious. Your boyfriends private."
    and
    Cammie says: "We weren't having an *interlude*. And you are *not* my boyfriend."
    then
    Zach says: "Yeah. I noticed."

    I just went completely "SQUEEEEEEE!!!" at that. Go Zach for his awesomeness, his "That's classified"s and "Spy."s

    I really wish Zach is besides me like he always do for Cammie...
    Hey, Cammie! Do you know I am jealous of you!! But I also like you!!
    And Ally Carter, why did you just make a hot spy boy in a book instead in this real world?!

  7. Sigh... oh Zach, how you've stolen my heart. Nothing can compare to the hot, imaginary guy in my head, but my best friends and I made a list of actors we would totally be okay with playing Zach (plus some other characters).
