3.0
This is a book about teenage love. It’s sort of opposites attract and love that overcomes the worst odds.
I enjoyed the multiple perspectives of not only the main characters but also side characters to enrich the story further. This made the plot and characters feel a lot more real to me. It also educated me on topics within the book that were important to understand the context.
I found the book believable for the most part, there were a couple of things that didn’t seem like they would actually happen. One in particular was the lawyer telling Daniel that Natasha was still going to be deported. This sort of took me out of the story.
The reason for the lower rating is just because it’s not really a book for my age range anymore. As a teenager I would have ate this up.
Therefore, I’d recommend this to someone looking for a YA contemporary love novel.
It’s a lovely and heart wrenching story of love defying odds.
