Okay, I'm going to have an unpopular opinion here: Getting married at 17 to try and keep yourself legal in the United States sounds like a really great idea, but in reality I don't think that should be the go-to answer for young woman facing immigration issues. I know, I know, I speak from a place of privilege where I've never, not once considered what I would do if suddenly my status as a citizen was called into question. And I admit that. But, I'm still going to say 17 is young for anyone to get married. If YA readers are the target audience, I just don't want them walking away from this book thinking that this is the <i>best</i> way to go about getting citizenship in a pinch. Quite honestly, some of the online dating moments were cringe -- and of course, maybe the point is that this would be cringe (having to fake a marriage). 

There are some very funny moments throughout the book, some cute moments, and even some sweet moments. As a whole, it almost works. There is just something that kept me from feeling this was a great ending to a book about an (empowered) young woman. I don't think that marrying someone is "brave," although you can tell that some may think, based on this story, that it was. 

As a whole, this is a middle of the road rating for me. I liked several parts of the story but others were a bit of a letdown. The ending... I just expected so much more. It took the wind out of my sails.
