Unless, she gives the Nazis exactly what they are looking for- information.

I would maybe recommend this book
Review: What in the world?? I TRULY have no idea. Okay, so for the first solid third of this book I was bored out of my mind. I was reading at such a SLOW pace and didn’t really care about the characters too much. But then, the book took a massive turn and all of a sudden……. I actually started getting super invested in this book!! I started to see how the different stories connected and was totally loving it!! Then, the book twisted AGAIN. Originally, I didn’t like this twist at all. But then it kinda made me feel more connected to this book (I might have even cried a little after reading it). In the end, when I think back to reading this book, overall I’ve decided that I do like Code Name Verity. However, I know I didn’t like a big portion of the beginning, so I can’t really give this too good of a rating. Anyways, I ended up liking this book more than I thought I would, so to me, that’s a good thing (but honestly, it still wasn’t great).
