Set in the early 2000s before DACA, Jimena discovers she is an undocumented immigrant during her senior year of high school. She is scared and thinks her only option to gain citizenship is to find an American to marry. I am too young to relate to the 2000s nostalgia that so many readers loved, but I can recognize the importance of this story. Jimena’s story highlights why DACA and other immigration policies regarding children are necessary. While this YA novel touches upon important topics, the plot itself was repetitive, and at times I felt like I was forcing myself to continue reading.
