I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter
by Erika L. Sánchez
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Loveable characters:
Complicated
I didn’t realize how young of a read this would be, and it comes across like someone trying to force as many Mexican stereotypes into one story as possible. I can see it being influential for a middle to older elementary school audience, especially for younger girls of color who are maybe less familiar with the concept of mental health but there were too many asides that didn’t advance the plot for my taste and the ending felt pretty unsatisfying.
