I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. Sánchez
5.0
I felt like I saw my friends, families, and even myself in Julia and other characters in the novel. I felt a need to keep reading and learning more about the story almost like when you read a thriller or mystery!
I went back and forth about all the explanations regarding specific cultural references throughout. I was craving for references to not be explained. I guess I wanted to feel like I had a special connection, but it never bothered me enough to take me outside of the story. I guess it just makes me wonder who it’s written for when it’s explained so much, but even that can be related to the Mexican American experience, and at some point I was grateful for the simple explanations and making note for the next time I might have to explain it as well.
