no ground beneath me, like everything I’ve ever done has been a lie.
Like I’m breaking apart, shattering. Who am I? Where do I belong?
Jasmine
de los Santos has always done what’s expected of her. Pretty and
popular, she’s studied hard, made her Filipino immigrant parents proud
and is ready to reap the rewards in the form of a full college
scholarship.
And then everything shatters. A national scholar
award invitation compels her parents to reveal the truth: their visas
expired years ago. Her entire family is illegal. That means no
scholarships, maybe no college at all and the very real threat of
deportation.
For the first time, Jasmine rebels, trying all those
teen things she never had time for in the past. Even as she’s trying to
make sense of her new world, it’s turned upside down by Royce Blakely,
the charming son of a high-ranking congressman. Jasmine no longer has
any idea where—or if—she fits into the American Dream. All she knows is
that she’s not giving up. Because when the rules you lived by no longer
apply, the only thing to do is make up your own.
