The Go-Between by Veronica Chambers, Karla Souza

2.0

Cammi has grown up as the daughter of one of the most famous actresses in Mexico, and all the paparazzi and news crews that come with it. When her mom is offered a role on a tv series in the United States, Cammi and her parents move to Los Angeles. When school starts, at the private academy she's enrolled at, she struggles to find a friend group and starts to work in the school's cafeteria kitchen, learning how to cook. Soon she is befriended by two more wealthy girls who like Cammi is at the school on scholarship because of her heritage and working in the kitchen. Cammi doesn't correct them and they continue to think her family is poor. The lie continues to grow as the book continues and Cammi starts to realize the importance and power of stereotypes.

A heartwarming story of a young lady trying to fit in while not forgetting her home. As a reader I felt for Cammi and the lie she felt she needed to keep perpetuating. It was also a refreshing story to learn more about Cammi's culture and to see her maturing throughout the book.
