Our main character Cammie is a pretty teenage girl with an IQ of a genius, a family background comparable to super spies and a special ability to blend in, as her nickname "Chameleon". When she accidentally gets to know a boy and falls in love with him, she and her friends start to help plan dates and secret rendezvous. But the problem is, they are from two totally different worlds.
As you may guess, this novel lacks plot development. I wanted something more, like secrets or twists and turns or even dangerous moments. This book has some minor moments, but they are not strong enough to register themselves in my mind as an unexpected event. Too easy, too cheesy. I would have enjoyed it more were there any hilarious moments, but unfortunately, these elements are absent.
Lastly, I think I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You would do better as a movie than a book. I'd recommend this book to fans of Artemis Fowl and to those who love to daydream about a secret double-life.
