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

4.0

---

This book resonated with me on so many levels. Sanchez really attacked so many issues like death, mental illness, immigration, & assault. Something that stood out to me the most, especially for a YA novel, is how well she wrote about how we as children struggle to bridge that generational divide between our parents that grew up in Mexico & those of us that grew up in America. This book felt so personal to me, at times I found myself dog-earring almost back to back pages. This book gets allll of the love from me!
