I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys

4.0

It’s been a minute since I’ve read YA historical fiction, and this one was great! I’m even going to recommend it to my 13 y/o son who has gotten way into world history lately. Since Nadia and the Secret Police is high on my TBR list, this story (and Author’s note) was a great primer. Told from the teen pov, the reader really gets a unique perspective of the times. For Gen X readers, it brings back memories of how we experienced the fall of the Soviet Union via media reports (and probably didn’t understand what was happening in Romania at all).
