A review by heykellyjensen
Finding My Voice by Marie Myung-Ok Lee

In the author's note, Lee mentions she deliberately did not update the book for the reissue, and I think that was smart. This book really does stand the test of time (aside from, of course, a couple of unnecessary fat phobic comments that could have been pulled or challenged). The story of a girl who struggles with the expectation of her immigrant Korean American parents and the desire to fit in as an Asian American teenager. Considered to be the first #OwnVoices Asian American YA book, I'm really glad to see this will be released for a whole new audience.
