Publisher's Summary:

When your country doesn't want you there, how do you know where you belong?

Jasmine de los Santos has been pushed by her immigrant parents to overachieve and be the best she can be. She's thrilled to be named a finalist for a big college scholarship. But when she brings home the paperwork, she learns that she and all her family are in the country illegally.

As Jasmine's world shatters around her, she rebels, trying to make sense of herself - who is she? Is she American? Illegal? Something in between? Jasmine decides to accept the award anyway and goes to DC, where she meets Royce Blakely, the handsome son of a Republican congressman. As she fights for her very identity, will Jasmine find help in unexpected places, and will she ever figure out where she belongs?

Members Reviews:

perfect grades, Captain of the cheer team and already ...

Well...this is my second review that I am writing during my road trip so once again, sorry if it's a big mess because let's face it- I'm heavily deprived of sleep.

Something in between follows a teenaged girl named Jasmine who has always had everything going for her, perfect grades, Captain of the cheer team and already set on going to a ivy league school that she has always dreamed of after high school.

But when she gets a full ride scholarship, she expects her parents to be excited, but to her suprise, they are worried sick and here's why..her family is illegal immigrants.

This book was a lot better than I expected. From the pre-release reviews I heard mixed things and I was worried that I would be on the side of not liking it but man was I wrong.

This had everything I could ever want as a contemporary lover- Great plot, swoonworthy romance, amazing writing and a very diverse set of characters.

The thing that I really want to highlight is that this novel has a very strong emphasis on family which I love because we don't get to see a lot of that in YA novels.

This is one of my favorite books of the year and dare I say it- my favorite book I've read for contemporary corner. So in case you haven't picked up on this yet, I really really recommend this.

Awesome book

A must read! The book is about a girl who grew up in the USA her whole life but then learns her family are undocumented immigrants. It shows the struggles her and her family face. The main character's world comes crashing down when she finds out she may not get into the college of her dreams. A must read!

Great Book for Thought

This book is such a thought-provoking book. It really brings relevant issues on immigration and the people affected by the laws we have in place. Especially after the recent election in the US, this should be on everyone's list, as for many people it will likely provide a second glance into the world of immigration. I will certainly recommend it to my own friends and family.

Melissa de la Cruz wrote a wonderful array of characters, providing depth to all of them. The main character Jasmine is easy to relate to, as someone who works hard for what she wants. Her parents are trying to do what any parents would and support their children. Her friends also struggle with the reality of her potential to be deported.
