A YA novel about Oslo during nazi occupation. 

Ilse has a crush on her neighbour and finally he asks her out; he stands her up and things start to unravel. 

Feels a little disjointed, little bits of multiple peoples stories without any real preamble or satisfactory conclusion. Even for ya readers this feels overly simplistic though did win awards .
