emcesme 's review for:
Code Name Verity
by Elizabeth Wein
I thought this was well written and I liked both characters, but for some reason I just couldn't get into it. Maybe because it was clearly going to be a tragic ending and I just wasn't in the mood for heartbreak. I might try it again another time.
I love that this was about the friendship between two young women who are capable and complicated.
I did keep tripping over the fact that the first half is supposedly being written under duress while being tortured by the Nazis. I found it very difficult to believe that a British spy would have been allowed to write such a rambling biography that clearly had little useful information for the war effort and maybe it was this that kept pulling me out of the story.
