I Must Betray You is a very sobering look at an often unrecognized part of history.

It is dark, disturbing, and unsettling, but it is also deeply moving. 

This story is fiction, but Romania’s history is not.

I urge you to read this book. It will touch your soul, and remind you never to take anything for granted.

The characters in this story are deeply conflicted, and story builds with a sense that something terrifying is coming.

The middle drags a bit, but when it picks up, you will be unable to look away, but horrified that you want to know what happens next.

Content warnings: Death, mass murder, blood, gun violence, descriptions of injuries that some people may find disturbing, kissing (not graphic).

One of the best books I’ve read since a while. I set up my own expectations towards it pretty high based on the reviews and I was certainly not disappointed. Although throughout the entire book we read about sufferings of entire nation the writing and very short chapters make it so much more digestible to get through. Personally, I love almost lyrical style of the author and the way narration just flows naturally. The characters are lovable, each in their own little ways, and especially Cristian as a main character stay very authentic in his thoughts throughout the entire story. 

Even though in the end I hoped for more depth of the plot and descriptions of daily lives in the oppressive system I think the way it was described was just enough from the main character’s point of view at 17 years old. The last few chapters gave just the perfect closure to the entire story and made me want to read more books of that specific genre (and definitely more of Ruta Sepetys’ books!).
