Best case scenario: She marries Blue (what’s his real name???) for the green card, but dates Vitaly even if it’s long distance

“Well, except for the Dog. Sof asked me first if she could tell him about my secret. Now that they’re officially boyfriend- girlfriend, I can’t expect her to keep anything from him, so I told her it was okay. And anyway, it’s nice to have more people in my corner.”

Uh, no

Does this guy The Dog not talk lmao?? Why is her friend dating him? And why is the MC approving their on again off again relationship 😭 girl find yourself a better man

I know you’re angry with him but now that you’re doing something slightly more dangerous why would you tell him not to be your date-bodyguard anymore 😭 girly it’s NYC!!

Her friend’s Hispanic too and still calls her Jimmy!??

She’s 50% me and he’s 50% me, it’s like Pru and Quint all over again (rereading Instant Karma rn)

If someone asks about what type of person I really am I’ll point to these two books and say “figure it out. Have fun”

Side note: I ship it

I’m loving this so farrrrr

I wish the semester hadn’t started so I could just read for hours and finish this already. If the ending comes through, it’s joining my shelves

Not them romanticizing smoking

Not them talking about the Hispanic men hanging around waiting for construction vans to pick up random workers ✋🏼 I love how much this book is just… relatable to me. The Brooklyn Hispanic teenage experience

Oh to have a cute boyfriend in a white shirt and gray sweatpants

I know she *was* lying about her age but just because she doesn’t want to have sex and one night stands doesn’t mean she’s not an adult !!!

I am simultaneously cringing for this girl and wanting to protect her and also knowing I’d 100% be useless in this situation

I know this takes place in the early 2000s (which I lived through) but I’m just CRINGING SO HARD at the fashion lmaooo like honey don’t wear that please

I. LOVE. HER.

Please don’t be seriously okay with dating a mid twenty year old !!! You’re 17 !!!

It makes me mad she lets her schoolmates pronounce her name wrong. I know people do this (I do this) but come on !! Educate !!!

We’re just getting thrown into this world/story and I love Jimena so much lol and Vitaly is interesting so far, I like their interactions

I know I say this every time I talk about this book but Pru and Quint are like both exact halves of my personality, it’s insane

I was 100% both of them growing up

This MC is so cute omg 🥺

This immigration lawyer’s hilarious 💀
