This week's book:
I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter
By Erika Sánchez
I kept seeing this book and I kept wondering about it. Well, this month's challenge for my book reading thingamajig I have been doing for a few months had "read a book with a Mexican theme or written by an author from Mexico", this one was perfect.
Alright, so I don't normally read YA books that often, so I may have struggled more then I really needed for this book. The book is about a teenaged girl coming to terms with the loss of her older sister (she got hit by a bus) and trying to relate to her parents. When she starts to uncover that her perfect older sister may have been not so perfect and that the main character has some major depression issues, the book gets even darker.
I am so glad that YA books show that it's okay to go to therapy and that it's okay to struggle, but I'm a thirty-five year old mother of three so I'm definitely not the right demographic for this book. I would recommend the book for young women who are coming of age and might be trying to find their way in the world.
