Finding My Voice by Marie Myung-Ok Lee
4.0
3.5 stars rounded up to four.
Kay, this book hit so many tropes that I was originally going to give it a 3-star review. BUT THEN I REMEMBERED- this book created the tropes. It was one of the first books starring a Korean-American teenager and for that reason, it hit so many tropes BECAUSE it created the tropes in the first place. I've been lucky to have so many narratives that show many different sides of being Korean-American, but this book opened up the way for those stories to be told.
