Rose Under Fire

I loved Code Name Verity. I adored Rose Under Fire.

While both books are strongly stories of friendship, I feel that the situations Rose finds herself in makes for several different, unique, and strong relationships. Simply put, this book is found family at its finest.

Reading was emotional, even the moments we know are inevitable. The writing itself, I feel, surpasses Verity. There is so much depth and personality to the supporting characters that they end up taking center stage. Knowing that the things Rose experiences and what her friends have gone through are based on true events makes the pages even more riveting.

It seems as though a majority of the fictional WWII era books are forbidden romances or on the front lines of battle. It's so refreshing to see one purely about love in the rawest sense of the word. Not romance. A realistic picture of hope and justice is also painted. All in all, Rose Under Fire is a beautiful tribute to the real life ‘Rabbits'.
