We're excited to welcome #1 New York Times-bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz with her timely and powerful novel, Something in Between, that Seventeen Magazine editor-in-chief Michelle Tan says "has everythinga strong heroine, important issues and a really cute crush. I'm obsessedand you will be too," and Marie Lu, the #1 NYT bestselling author of The Young Elites and Legend, says "challenges what we understand of love, law, identity, ambition, and the American Dream. "
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 whereor ifshe 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.
