My Rating: 3.5 Stars
Format: Physical Book (Paperback)
I think it
was a great book, well written and cute story but something just didn’t click
with me same way Nicola Yoon’s previous book did. I’m not a fan of
instant-romance in a story and even though technically it wasn’t that they
still fell in love and kissed and called each other boyfriend/girlfriend in the
spare time of *drum roll* 1 day…
Even though
I liked seeing what each character was thinking I still felt the change of POV
abrupt, you never really get to know in depth.
I enjoyed
the ending just because it wasn’t a happy ever after ending, it’s just reality
and you just can’t fix everything, if it turned out otherwise I don’t really
know what kind of rating I would give. (ok, the ending was kind of happily ever
after but you kind of imagine what goes next, my thoughts went the bad way and
there’s no happy there).
I felt the
situation a bit weird… you know by the premise that she will be deported at the
end of the day, what you don’t know is that she tries everything to change
that, and it includes going to an immigration and whatever office, and that’s
fine that I say that because you still don’t know what happens at the end, but
that being said, she talks to this lawyer and they will try and resolve things.
Now… Daniel has a Yale interview to become a doctor, and what you don't know
and don’t read if you don’t want spoilers is that (HIGHLIGHT FOR SPOILER) the
interview is with that same guy, the lawyer of immigration services, so why
with him, and outside of Yale, why would he be the interviewer, he’s not a
doctor, not the kind that cures people, he deals with immigration, so I just
felt that part SOOO unrealistic. Yale interview to become a doctor would be at
Yale and with someone that especially takes the interviews for that, not an
immigration lawyer at a place under construction.
Anyway,
still a cute book, a cute story, but a lot of unrealistic things to make me
like it like I liked everything, everything.
