aracherry 's review for:
I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter
by Erika L. Sánchez
....Well THAT was a rollercoaster of emotions. A little less than half way through I honestly didn't think I was gonna give this book more than 2 stars. Julia was just SO unlikable, and well, everyone was but especially Julia and her mom too. Julia was a dick to everyone and her mom was horrible to Julia. Thank god it got better though, I really ended up liking Julia and I really love that her mom became more understanding. I really wish we had gotten more of the dad because I really liked him.
Man, when that thing happened it totally wrecked me, the tears wouldn't stop coming, because I remember feeling like that too, thankfully it never got to that point with me.
I REALLY started loving this book when she got to Mexico, it just really made a turn there. I don't know, this author just got a lot of things right, the Mexican-American experience, and the relationships, it all felt very real at least in my experience being, you know, Mexican-American. I really related to Julia, especially the relationship she had with her mother. It's scary how much it reminded me of my relationship with my ma. Anyway, this review is all over the place, but whatever, it was great, I recommend it, go read it.
