The Truth Is by NoNieqa Ramos

4.0

I loved this book. Verdad, the main character, isn't a perfect person, but she's one of the most realistically written characters I've read in a long time. The book is about a teenager discovering who she is and confronting some of the prejudices she might have. Anyone in that situation is bound to make mistakes and struggle with themselves, and I'm glad the book displayed that.The story has a big focus on themes such as identity, processing trauma and racism and it does an excellent job giving each of those its own room to breathe and be discussed.
