This sounds so interesting, I'd love to review this!jdinorcia2@gmail.com
I'd love to read this one!myfullbookshelfreviews@gmail.com
Hey! I just wanted to let you know that I haven't received this book yet. I don't know if it's just me, but I wanted to bring it up since the deadline is getting closer. Thank you!
Yeah I still haven't received mine either, after I messaged you about it a few days ago. I keep checking my spam folder and making sure it's not getting flagged, but nothing.
Jennifer...I didn't ignore your message, I messaged the author that day and today. If I don't hear back from the author by Sunday, I will be scrapping this R4R.
Yeah that's what I meant (sorry, on phone!), that I got your message back but still hadn't heard from the author.

Hello, it's the author! Apologies for the delay. I have had back to back book promotion events and wasn't near my home computer, where I had the PDF. I have sent the PDF to each of you. Feel free to message me again if you haven't received it or have had any issues.Thanks for signing up and for your patience.

I got my copy too. Thanks!
Working on my review now - hopefully should be up tomorrow or Saturday! :D
Gabs, what a beautiful review. Thank you. And what a fast reader you are!
Hey Marni, I was wondering if I could get an extension for this book. I'm really looking forward to it, but due to an overload of work I haven't been able to. One extra week is more than enough, because I'm finally getting stuff together. Is it possible?

Valeria, thanks for taking the time to read and post your review. And thanks for making it so thorough and honest!
It was my pleasure. It is a great book :)
As a straight-A student with a budding romance and loyal best friend, M.T.’s life seems as apple-pie American as her blondish hair and pale skin. But M.T. hides two facts to the contrary: her full name of Monserrat Thalia and her status as an undocumented immigrant.
But it’s harder to hide now that M.T.’s a senior. Her school’s National Honor Society wants her to plan their trip abroad, her best friend won’t stop bugging her to get her driver’s license, and all everyone talks about is where they want to go to college. M.T. is pretty sure she can’t go to college, and with high school ending and her family life unraveling, she’s staring down a future that just seems empty. In the end, M.T. will need to trust herself and others to stake a claim in the life that she wants.
Author Maria E. Andreu draws from her personal experience as a (formerly) undocumented immigrant to explore an issue that affects over one million children in the U.S. But while the subject matter is timely, it is M.T.’s sharp, darkly funny voice and longing for a future that makes this story universally poignant.
