Cross My Heart...the blurb
So people keep asking me what CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY is about.
And I keep dodging the question.
Seriously. It's like I don't know the answer or something...like I didn't do my homework...like I didn't read the book and am waiting for the movie.
But I WROTE the book! I totally, absolutely know what it's about.
I can even do the two sentence elevator pitch if I have to, but...
I don't want to.
And I just realized why: I don't want to give anything away. And I do mean anything.
I think there are very few times when a reader has a pure reading experience. This is something I used to think all the time when writing screenplays--that the first reader is the only person to sit down without having seen the previews or hearing the pitch. Without having a clue where the journey is going to take you.
Same thing with books. It's almost impossible to start a book without having at least some of the plot be spoiled for you.
After all...
...you know what the cover looks like.
...you know what you read on the back of the book.
...you know what your friends said about it.
...you know what the reviewers or people on BN or Amazon.com had to say (and sometimes they say waaay too much if you ask me.)
But how often do you pick up a book and just wait to see where the story takes you--a completely unexpected journey?
And that, I guess, is how I think this book could be enjoyed most.
There's a big plot twist that happens at about page thirty, and another at page 80, and another at 150, and so on and so on. And if I were to tell you "what the book's about" I'd have to share at least a part of those.
And I really, really, really don't want to.
If you want to know more there will be an official "blurb" from the publisher that will no doubt be on the bookjacket and all the online stores and everything else. And maybe someday I'll break down and post it here.
But right now I'm being stubborn. I want your jaws to drop and you to scream "no freaking way!!!!" as much as possible, so let me just say this:
Nothing at spy school is ever as it seems. And Cammie's getting ready to learn that the hard way.
And I'd tell you more, but well...you know.
** Be on the look out and keep checking.
good luck

Right now, you can't read the book online because it isn't even out yet :P From my knowledge, it'll be out sometime in early October. However, if you go to Ally's blog, she has posted three parts in the first chapter. Think of it as a little sneak peek!
Hope this helped!
