Nicola Yoon is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I loved Everything, Everything, but I think I love this book more. An entire book is centered around one day, one chance (or is it?) meeting between a South Korean boy who has a jerk brother and parents who are determined for him to get into Yale for pre-med. He goes into NYC for an interview with a Yale alum, but gets sidetracked when he sees a young girl who is trying to meet with a lawyer so she doesn't get deported back to Jamaica. I don't like a gooshy love story, and this is not one of those, hence the 4 stars. It's more like real people discussing thoughts and hopes. I wish the characters were really my friends.
4/5 stars
