I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. Sánchez

4.0

I wanted to check this out because it was very popular at the bookstore I work at and I wanted to see if it was worth the hype. I think it definitely passes and I will absolutely continue to recommend it, and I’m happy that I know a bit more about what’s in it. I’m giving it four stars purely to reflect my personal enjoyment—I don’t get as much out of young adult books as I used to and as I know a young adult would. I think Julia is a great main character for young adults to read and many will see themselves reflected in her, the good and the bad. I think this novel has a lot of value both for readers whose life experiences are similar to Julia seeing themselves as the main character of a book but also for readers whose experiences are very different to Julia to be exposed to something they may not have been before.
