emilyacgm 's review for:
I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter
by Erika L. Sánchez
I'm surprised at all the glowing reviews. To me it felt forced and formulaic--bad event to start, struggling teen dealing with life gets a white boyfriend, attempts suicide, ends up in therapy. The only place I felt the novel was alive was in Julia's visit to her family in Mexico, then she returned and the entire thing wrapped up neatly as she was accepted to college and made peace with her family. Am I far too old and cynical for this book? Possibly.
