I wanted to address, I Stand By Ukraine, no matter what. Please educate yourself on this topic, and stay safe <3
Ruta Sepetys never disappoints! This is the third book of hers I have read, and it's just as full of emotion, twists, and good characters. She gives a voice to people that didn't have one, and tells stories for those who can't. While I don't think that any of her books could top Salt to The Sea, one of my all-time favorites, they're still so great to read, yet heart wrenching at the same time. I must betray is a boom where I never knew who I could trust, and every reveal was just as heart-pounding as the previous. Truly the queen of historical fiction. If you're interested, try it out! As always, check the content warnings, because mental health comes first!
