Do you think Bex, Cam or Macey or Zach will ever teach at the Gallagher academy in the future?

Honestly I could see all of them teaching there at some point. Coming in to teach coveops or another class for a semester or a year could be fun for Bex or Macey. I do think Cammie eventually takes her mom’s position as headmistress. And it is my personal headcanon that, rather than have Zach just be the Gallagher coveops teacher, I think he becomes headmaster of Blackthorne.

do u have any recaps for books similar to gg

like it’s genuinely my roman empire but it feels like no one knows about it but me 😭

If you like the writing style and the female led ensemble of the Gallagher Girls I’d first recommend Ally Carter’s Heist Society books. (If you like the writing style and you want more adult go for Ally's The Blonde Identity.)

I read the series at the same time as the Percy Jackson books, so nostalgia dictates I recommend those as well. And they have similar themes of watching the main ensemble characters grow up, fight, there are meaningful friendships, and a romance as well.

If you like rivals to lovers stories (like Zammie with lower stakes) there's The Hating Game by Sally Thorne.

I haven't read this series personally, but I know there's a lot of overlap between the Gallagher Girls fandom and the Raven Boys fans.

It all depends on what it is you like about the series. That's what you want to look for in other books! I haven't ready many books that I find similar to GG, but here's what goodreads recommends if that helps!

Do you think Catherine told the truth when she said she didn’t want to hurt Cammie in UWS? How could she have done that to her boy’s girlfriend even though she knew she needed the answers from Cammie?

Catherine is interesting because she’s not a President Snow villain. She and Cammie do not agree not to lie to each other. They aren't in a delicate, political dance with one another. Catherine wants Cammie alive while she's useful and once she isn't anymore Catherine does not care about her. So, no in that moment I think she meant she didn't want to hurt Cammie because it wouldn't benefit her in any way. It probably would have been more work than it was worth considering everything that was going on.

Catherine doesn't see Cammie as her sons girlfriend. She sees Cammie as someone with information she needs and then as a loose end. Cammie being a way to get under her sons skin is an added bonus. It isn't enough for Catherine to want to keep her alive after she's served Catherine/The Circle's purpose.

Hey everyone! If you’re in either of the Ally Carter discords there’s a link to sign up for an advanced reader copy (ARC) of her upcoming book! Make sure you check it out if interested and fill it out. You’ll get to read the book early and then you can review it if you’re so inclined for new and returning Ally Carter readers!

[incorrectgallaghergirlsquotes]

What do you think it would have been like if Zach had been Cammie’s enemy?

There’s two different ways I interpreted this question, both of which are interesting options. Now, Cammie and Zach as we know them are a rivals to lovers story. So the first way I could interpret this change to them being enemies would be making them a rivals to enemies story instead. The Cammie and Zach we see in the series are never truly enemies, they’re academic rivals when we meet them and they slowly grow out of that.

If they grew into enemies though? There would be a lot of foreshadowing built in, parallel to the foreshadowing we get that Zach is going to be a good guy. There would still be enough back and forth to make Cammie and the reader question where Zach falls. Book 2 would end the same and then I imagine that the reveal of Zach as the enemy would come at the end of book 3 or during book 4. It would be interesting to see how Cammie deals with another heartbreak after Josh, depending on how her and Zach’s relationship evolved in this scenario. Then it would be interesting to see the two of them fight on opposite sides, especially considering how similar they are. (Since I have a reference for everything I’m thinking Buffy and Angel when he became Angelus.) The series would then likely end without a love interest for Cammie or with a new one introduced in book 4 or 5.

Now the other way I interpret Cammie and Zach as enemies is if they go from enemies to lovers. If they start out much the same, as rivals, just, well, worse. And angrier. We’d see a Zach who doesn’t hide his anger and resentment towards Cammie. He wouldn’t shield her from that or the truth about Blackthorne or his parents, he’d reveal them strategically to get a reaction out of her. But then we’d also see Cammie getting through to him. We’d see signs of his humanity and Cammie giving him chances to choose that humanity and every so often he would. Zach would be worse in books 2 and 3 with book 4 being a turning point where Zach saves Cammie at the end just like he does in the actual book. Then I can see him disappearing and Cammie running away and when she forgets the summer, she forgets Zach saved her in the tombs. We know because she wrote her report before that, but she doesn’t. Just for added drama. Maybe in this scenario he finds her over the summer. Again, drama. It’s not a great look for him as her enemy and then there’s a reveal where Cammie remembers that their relationship evolved over that summer into something romantic. Which sets us up for a great finale in book 6 where they end up together.

[incorrectgallaghergirlsquotes]

Do you think Cammie’s memories of the summer she ran away eventually came back post series? Would they have haunted her for a long time or would she have been able to leave it in the past and not think on it?

I don’t think it’s Cammie’s choice whether she thinks about it or remembers it or not. I imagine memories of that summer come to her in fragments and in flashes, probably in nightmares or when triggered. I think these occurrences would happen at random and spaced out throughout her life. I don’t imagine she ever gets the memory of everything that happened that summer back. And everyone is right, she’s probably better off that way.

[incorrectgallaghergirlsquotes]

Do you think anyone else at the Gallagher Academy knew all the secret passageways or was it just Cammie?

I think Cammie is the only one who knew all of them! I feel like she says once or twice that it seems like a passageway hasn't been used since Gilly herself. I think most of them her mom and the staff know exist but obviously don't use. There are some the other girls are aware of but also probably don't use. Then there are some Cammie has shown her friends and the other girls but there's a good handful she keeps just for herself. And it's not like other people really ask, Cammie offers them when necessary but she seems to be the only one really interested in them.

[incorrectgallaghergirlsquotes]

Do you think Rachel had foreseen her daughter and zach falling in love?

I think she had a feeling that first time she saw them together. Mothers intuition combined with woman's intuition. I think she knew something was going to happen, maybe she didn't think they'd fall in love and stay together forever, but I think she saw something happening between them.

If there is/are taylor swift song that best describes the relationship of Zach/Cam, what is it and can you please make a short blurb out of it 😭 (obviously a swiftie) 🤭

No Taylor songs Zammie quite as hard as I Know Places and End Game. Those ones are pretty self explanatory, but songs like Mine, Sparks Fly, and Call it What You Want are also very Zammie coded. But for a quick blurb? I'm gonna go with You Are In Love:

It's in the way he catches her eye from across the room. In the way his expression shifts into something just for her to see. It's in the way he buttons the top button on her coat when they leave. It's in the innocuous joke she makes about chivalry. It's in the small talk she makes while he drives. It's in the way they have each others coffee orders memorized. It's in the way he stops on the sidewalk to point out the stars (because he knows she likes them). It's in the way she feels when their shoulders brush. It's in the way she burns toast trying to make breakfast. It's in the way he only notices that she's wearing his shirt. It's in the kisses they share in public and the fights they have in private. It's in their refusal to go to bed without reconciling. It's in the way he pulls her in closer in their bed. It's in the way he whispers,

"You're my best friend."

And it's in the way that he's hers. And they both know it.

Who do you think taught zach to ride a motorcycle?

You know what? I'm gonna say Catherine. Because that's pretty irresponsible to teach a 14/15 year old how to ride a motorcycle lol

[incorrectgallaghergirlsquotes]

Will we ever see a scene in operation blackthorne about how other girls also flirted with zach, and other blackthorne boys flirted with cammie, stuff like that?

Great question! I think I have another request for how Zach dealt with other girls flirting with him and I think that's an interesting idea to explore. However, I feel like if the other Blackthorne boys flirted with Cammie we'd know from Cammie's report. The only boys there in their grade are Zach, Grant, and Jonas so the boys are out numbered. I don't think Grant or Jonas ever approached Cammie to flirt and I don't think there were many opportunities for overlap where boys from other grade levels would flirt with her.

If they ever go on a mission as partners, what do you think is the difference in the dynamics between Townsend and Zach, and Joe and Zach?

I think Townsend and Zach work best together when they have a common enemy. We see them agree a lot on mission that revolve around stopping Catherine and keeping Cammie under control because they agree on those two causes. I think they often agree on what to do, but phrase things differently and then argue over which plan to do (they're the same plan) or they nitpick each other over minor details. They get off to a bumpy start.

Zach is more likely to accept orders and directions from Joe. Zach will follow his lead. I think Joe is also more inclined to trust Zach's ideas and while both he and Townsend might let him play something out, Townsend is more likely to do so with more hesitation and side eyeing. Joe and Zach's missions are a bumpy ride, but they kinda like it that way.

I think Zach is more than likely to try and show off for both of them. For Joe, he wants to make him proud, for Townsend, he wants to show him up.

[incorrectgallaghergirlsquotes]

Do you think Townsend asked permission from Rachel and Cam before marrying Abby?

Not really? I don't really think Townsend is the type and I'm not a big fan of the asking for permission regardless of gender roles. People aren't other people's belongings, the only person you need to ask permission if you want to marry someone is the person you plan on marrying. I'm not saying I think it's bad to do or if you like it, I personally just don't really get it. Like Joe talking to Cammie makes sense because that's her mom and her dad is dead, but someone's sister and her niece? I don't see the point in the gesture.

[incorrectgallaghergirlsquotes]

Hello! Do you think Joe had already met little cam, even if she didn't remember it?

Hi!

I would hope so! The fact that he apparently wasn't in her life before Matt disappeared is so interesting and I do really wonder what happened there. It's possible things were just busy and Joe's not really the family type (or so he thinks). But I do think he was there probably not long after Cammie was born. In the hospital with Matt and Rachel, at Matt's parents house, watching Cammie grow up for the first maybe three years of her life give or take. I could see him also sending gifts for her and correspondence asking Matt and Rachel how she's doing and growing up. I imagine he was meant to be Cammie's godfather, but then he wasn't around anymore.

You know what could have taken him away from the Morgan family? Discovering on a mission that someone else had a child around the same time. A certain redheaded someone with a certain son that desperately needed another adult in his life outside of his mom.
