This book. It’s not what I was expecting. I want other people to read it, but it felt less like a romance and more like a regular new adult novel. 

With a title like this, I was expecting it to be a little campy and light, but instead we have a realistic portrayal of living in America as an undocumented person. Alejandro is undocumented and in a job he hates. His roommate and best friend Kenny offers to marry him to get his citizenship. Hijinks ensue. 

Instead of a romance, Reyes shows us what it’s like being undocumented- the stress, the powerlessness of it all. It’s difficult and one point in the book I was like “this is someone’s reality and we as a society are ok with it.” 

I highly recommend it. It’s cute and a bit predictable. You know the villains from the beginning and Reyes doesn’t torture her audience. Things are stressful, but not awful.
