RaveTusker Times... the author does a great job pulling the reader’s heartstrings ... the expert use of foreshadowing builds tension as the plot progresses ... Not long into the book, I found myself really rooting for Julia. She’s by far my favorite character; her relatable qualities and desires make her likeable even with all her downsides. It made me feel deeply for the characters ... It encompasses Julia’s journey very well and concludes the theme of change. I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter was a realistic yet enlightening break from day-to-day life for me, and I think that’s something we can all use once in a while.
