Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
5.0

This book is beautifully written, somehow managing to be historically accurate without the author emphasizing it (how many have I read that seem to yell out, "Look how accurate I am! Look how much I know about this time period!"?). It takes a great skill to master that artform.
I love the characters; they're so exceptionally real that I want them to be real people. I want to seek out photos of them and hang them on the wall, to be honored as heroes. I love them because they're not perfect, and I wouldn't change a thing about them.
I highly recommend this book. I'll be keeping an eye out for anything else written by Elizabeth Wein.
