starting "Rose Under Fire"

I just got my hands on "Rose Under Fire" by Elizabeth Wein, which is the sort-of sequel to "Code Name Verity." I've only looked at page 1--JUST PAGE 1, MIND YOU!--and it mentions Maddie by name, then says, "Maddie had to write a big report herself last January and also be grilled in person by the Accident Committee."

OH MY GOD, MAKE ME START CRYING ALREADY WHY DON'T YOU?

What I should do is re-read "Code Name Verity" first because it's been a while and I'm sure I'll miss a lot of references to it in this new book, but Wein is really good at pulling your heart out and I'm not sure I can bear to read them back-to-back.
