If you want a light novel, this is, like, the definition of a light novel. This is airy, frothy, featherlight chick-lit with a capital "c" and a capital "l." Chick-Lit. You can read it on the beach or by the pool with half your attention. You can skim parts or skip pages and not have a worry in the world that you will miss anything important.

I suspect this is basically the equivalent of a mass-market romance novel, except it's been given a somewhat more "prestige" packaging and it includes a fair amount of relatively naughty or steamy scenes, which I didn't pay attention to, because I so do not care about sex scenes. I don't think they got t-o-o-o coarse and graphic, but I think there might have been a grabbing of a s _ _ f _ or two. I'd rather concentrate on wit and relationships.

Basically, our heroine falls for a New York City street busker who is Irish. There it is, I've told you the whole plot. The end.

One major element in our plot is that our street busker has overstayed his visa by 4 years, and so our heroine thinks a green-card marriage can save him and enable him to work as a performer in her composer uncle's Broadway show.

However well that may or may not work out in the novel, let me assure you: I'm very liberal, not a right-winger, and all of that, but under any U.S. presidential administration, overstaying a visa *at* *all*, even if it's only by a day, is a big, big deal. Marriage is almost undoubtedly not going to save you, you will be deported, and you will not be allowed to return to the U.S. for probably 10 years, if they ever allow you to return at all.

Do not use this novel for legal guidance without consulting with an immigration lawyer first.
