Catalina is a beautiful novel about a Harvard student living with the secret of being undocumented. The novel takes place before the Dreamers act (DACA) was enacted. Catalina attends Harvard and fears graduation as she cannot legally work. She thrives in unpaid internships, and hides a secret because she does not know who to trust. She arrived in the US as a child, lives with her grandparents, and hides in plain sight. This novel is a beautiful story about belonging and family. It brings to light a very real issue for many living in the US.

Well intentioned boyfriends and families use their weight to bring light to her situation, but are they helpful? 

This is a wonderful novel with so much depth to it. It is easy to read and I was in love with Catalina and her grandparents.
