I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. Sánchez

5.0

I am a fan of YA and decided it's because the protagonists are brutally honest and uninhibited. Erika Sanchez created one who is full of self doubt, ballsy, and boundary breaking in her behavior. I admire her from the first page as she navigates losing her older sister, being left alone with immigrant parents who don't understand her, and feeling different than her classmates in high school, even her best friend. I rooted for her, wanting her to get perspective, grow up, step into other people's shoes, and watched her make one mistake after another until something gave.
