Hello Bookish Friends :)
I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today.
I'm Kirby, and I'm excited to welcome you.
Last year I decided to reread of one of my all time favorite series, The Gallagher Girls by Ally Carter.
Since I read them the first time around before I had my book blog, I've been enjoying getting to to review each of the titles as I read them this time around.
If you'd like to check out my reviews of the first two titles in the series, you can do so using the links below:

Otherwise, I hope you'll all keep on reading down below for today's full review.
Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover by Ally Carter:
Publisher: Disney Hyperion
Publication Date: June 9th, 2009
Genre: Young Adult Fiction/Spy Series/Contemporary
Series: Gallagher Girls
Synopsis:
When Cammie "The Chameleon" Morgan visits her roommate Macey in Boston, she thinks she's in for an exciting end to her summer break. After all, she's there to watch Macey's father accept the nomination for vice president of the United States. But when you go to the world's best school (for spies), "exciting" and "deadly" are never far apart. Cammie and Macey soon find themselves trapped in a kidnappers' plot, with only their espionage skills to save them.
As her junior year begins, Cammie can't shake the memory of what happened in Boston, and even the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women doesn't feel like the safe haven it once did. Shocking secrets and old flames seem to lurk around every one of the mansion's corners as Cammie and her friends struggle to answer the questions, Who is after Macey? And how can the Gallagher Girls keep her safe?
Soon Cammie is joining Bex and Liz as Macey's private security team on the campaign trail. The girls must use their spy training at every turn as the stakes are raised, and Cammie gets closer and closer to the shocking truth. . . .

My Review:
I'm wholeheartedly enjoying getting to reread one of my all time favorite series, and I remembered this title being one of my personal favorites the first time around. That definitely didn't change this time, and I loved how this one starts building the series into the bigger mystery, and showcasing the girls stepping out of the school, and into the crime fighting chaos of the real world.
Cammie, Macey, Liz and Bex have all matured a lot since the first book, and the reader gets to see their friendship and their espionage talents maturing as well. However, this title also dives into their vulnerabilities, and the downside to everything they do when an attempted kidnapping thwarted by Cammie and Macey seems to imply they're only pawns in a much bigger picture.
With crime fighting chaos, hilarity and hijinks, some swoon worthy romantic moments, a well developed mystery that keeps the reader guessing, and a wonderful continuation of the sisterhood introduced in books one and two, Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover is a fantastic young adult fiction novel, and I enjoyed it just as much the second time around.
Final Rating: 5/5.
I'd highly recommend this one to anyone who enjoys cleanish young adult, especially focused on espionage.
Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)
