I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys is a book that is worth reading. Set in communist Romania in 1989, Cristian learns the harsh reality of living there. He is blackmailed by the secret police because he wants to help his grandfather. Sepetys does an excellent job with creating realistic characters and setting the scene so you can get the view of what life is like under communist control. It made me grateful that I do not live in such a place. It is cataloged as a book for young adults at my library, but good for all adults.
