This book was so cute!!!! The story was so nice between her and her mother. You felt that both their hearts were always in the right place, and the tension of finding yourself when you have limits placed in you by the outside world. I loved that this was a grounded look at college, where it even discussed a community college as a step between a four year university. It was incredibly helpful and I loved letting young adults see a character like Zahra. 
That said, sometimes with the romance we are told things instead of shown. That's a small nit, it's just sometimes a plot line felt contrived because it wasn't as grounded. Also, I really liked the discussion of sometimes foregoing college and college was later reinforced with the plot, which made me sad. One other small thing was it was about 40 pages too long. I felt the ending plots dragged a bit
