The Age of American Unreason by Susan Jacoby

This book is basically all about a “teenage-spy-in-training-who-falls-in-love-with-the-cutest-most-normal-boy-in-town”. You get the idea.
So, first things first, I liked it. Catchy Title, Girl in the lead, Totally Cool Gadgets, Cute, Awesome Boys.. What’s not to like? I, specifically, love the latter.
Cammie, the girl lead I was talking …
