Spies! Best girl friends! Twisty plots and intrigue and bravery and GIRL SPIES. While I found Code Name Verity to be slow going at first, I was so delighted by the premise itself that I had to keep reading. Happily, once the setup is established and the plot really gets going, it’s thrilling and wonderful and you’re so wrapped up in Maddie and Queenie and their lives that you can’t help but love them fiercely. I know I do.
