A review by melancholylethe
Don't Ask Me Where I'm From by Jennifer De Leon

4.0

Liliana’s story helps explore how to recognize racism and be an ally. It follows her journey as she begins a program at an elite school. How she deals with her father’s deportation, and begins to find out who she is in unexpected ways. She begins to start understanding her own culture and she how she is multi faceted. I like that everything wasn’t quite neatly tied up (the assembly for example). Liliana is a strong character, but she’s still figuring it out. I appreciate that realistic piece.
