I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. Sánchez
2.0
There wasn't any clear plot. Everything was just scattered everywhere and there were just a bunch of different problems that were difficult to piece together. I didn't really understand how many of the things connected to Olga. I thought that this book was all about finding out the mystery of Olga but instead it kind of turned into a novel about a girl's insane life.
Other than that, the dialogue in the book was amazing and you can really experience the character's emotions throughout the book. I say that the beginning was very good in terms of plot, explaining, and overall left me pretty satisfied. Towards the end it felt like the author had a bunch of great ideas and wanted to just stuff them in one book. Maybe instead of just having a bunch of stuff going on, focus on one of the problems and just make it into a series and a detailed timeline.
They also kind of left out the dad out towards the end. I mean the mentioned it quite a few times but overall he was just the person who used to be an artist but now just lazily sits on the couch and words at a candy factory.
*For example: SPOILERS!!!*
When Julia went to Mexico, that part had absolutely no purpose. I feel like Ama should have just told Julia what had happened instead of her going all the way to Mexico to ride horses and whatnot. It would have developed a better mother-daughter relationship.
