jabenny 's review for:
I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter
by Erika L. Sánchez
There was some language and content warnings I would give. If sex/f-bombs bother you I would steer clear of this book.
I think this book had some important issues brought up and talked about. We see depression, family relationships, drugs, sex, anxiety explored. I feel like there wasn't exactly a plot and the author just wanted to hit on each of these things and strung them along to Julia's search for answers about her sister, which should have been the big arc of the story but I feel like it was underscored by teen angst that I just couldn't get into.
What I liked about this book is that it does explore these things and tries to speak to the issues of immigrant life and teen girl issues.
