A Night Divided by Jennifer A. Nielsen
3.0

The oppressiveness of Cold War-era East Berlin really got to me as I read this book. It's not just that you're being watched by the Grenzers and the Stasi. It's the fear that anyone, at any time, could be a spy reporting on your activity. It's knowing that your mail is being read and there are bugs in your home. Nielsen does a good job of showing what it's like to live in that tense environment.
