  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
I can see why I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter is a standout in YA even though I personally didn't enjoy this book. Julia has a lot of strong opinions, largely negative, and reading from her perspective brought back all the ways I behaved as a teenager that in hindsight I regret. As this is a sign that her POV voice was well done, I'm leaving off a rating.
