As I read Code Name Verity, I tried to figure out why this was a YA novel rather than an adult novel. My conclusion: the book was about the friendship between the 2 girls. And when they started their friendship, they were just girls, girls who grew up very quickly in a war situation. So, while they were adult (granted, very young adults) narrators, their story was based in a very teenage-feeling time frame. I am looking forward to hearing what others thought about this book in particular!
