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

3.5

Yet again I find myself enjoying a book because the main character is so complicated, flawed, and young. Julia is a hard character to read, as she is angry, and sad, and desperate to escape the life she thinks her parents want her to lead. This book touches on a lot of complicated things, and some are almost completely glossed over, but if it was any other way then I suspect it would’ve felt gratuitous (and led some more book censorship within schools). I think the way it covered therapy - and taking care of your body physically too - was well done though, and I think it’s a book which many young people would appreciate having access to.
