Y'all. THIS (THIS!) is what I wanted when I was disappointed in Eleanor & Park last month. More importantly, Nicola Yoon's TSIAAS is about so much more than a believable YA romance. This is a story about immigrant American families - specifically South Korean and Jamaican - one of which is going through a deportation crisis. And I feel lucky to have picked this up while my country undergoes infuriating policy changes under a new administration. 
 Taking place over the course of a single day, this page-turner lovingly features well-rounded POC characters and lovely little moments of connection. Yoon also gives us little peeks into secondary (and tertiary) characters along the way, building a denser narrative within a no-bullshit depiction of New York. 
 I loved it.
