I used to do these reread reviews a few years ago when I was doing a reread challenge and decided I missed doing them! I reread a lot more now and thought it’d be fun to quickly talk about them!

When I First Read: About four years ago! I can’t believe it was so long ago!

What I Remember: I remember loving the friendship and I remember it being heartbreaking and sobbing. 🙁

Why I Wanted to Reread: Well, I loved it the first time and I do enjoy rereading favorites! Also, I wanted to finally read Rose Under Fire so thought I’d reread Code Name Verity. I reread on audio and it was so good! I highly recommend the audio!

How I Felt After Rereading: Emotionally spent. I think that it was more emotional the second time through because even though I didn’t remember details about the story (I read it soo long ago) it was like my subconscious brain still knew. The first time the words “kiss me hardy” were uttered, I basically just teared up inadvertently. It was like a switch being flipped and bam! tears. I definitely cried quite a few times during this reread.

Would You Read Again? Yes! I’m such a masochist. I loved Maddie and Verity’s friendship so very much and their incredible story. I’d go through that pain again every time.

Have you read this? What did you think? I highly recommend this historical fiction if you haven’t read it – it is just such a powerful, emotional story!
