Above you rated this book. Explain in detail why you gave this book that score.

I gave the book a nine because I do not believe in love at first sight, even thought that I consider myself a romantic person, for me it is a little exaggerated, but, I liked the book because it shows an interracial relationship and the struggles that shows in the book like the deportation of ilegal immigrants in the United States and the education that Asian Parents give to their Asian-American children are good examples to show the reality of the United States and also, shows that distance can change ourselves and falling in love with a person can change our prespective  of what love is.
