Book Review: Not If I Save You First

Ally Carter’s Not If I Save You First is a glorious iddy delight. THERE IS ACTUAL SNUGGLING FOR WARMTH IN THESE BOOKS. Also characters saving each other’s lives MULTIPLE times, wilderness survival in fast-deteriorating weather conditions, and a bedazzled hatchet, although sadly Maddie was not carrying said hatchet on the day that she and the President’s son Logan got kidnapped, so she doesn’t get to use it.

(Quick backstory: Maddie and Logan were best friends when Maddie’s father was the head of Logan’s father’s Secret Service detail. But after Maddie’s father nearly died foiling the attempted kidnapping of Logan’s mother, he and Maddie moved to a cabin in the wilds of Alaska with no internet or phone or even any human beings for Maddie to befriend. And then Logan didn’t answer any of Maddie’s letters, that skunk!)
