Julia’s voice is unique. At the start of the book, she is 15. Her sister has just died in a tragic accident and she is alone in her grief, regret, and anger. She was so messy, and I loved that she was allowed to be messy and make mistakes and reexamine what she thought she knew. Julia was written in a way that reminds readers outside the intended YA audience that the inner lives of teens are so much more than meets the eye. It’s so easy to forget what you, as an older reader, were like as a teen (sullen, moody, defiant, reading Camus because I wanted to look smarter than everyone, only listening to indie and new wave…jesus, I was a lot more like Julia than I thought lol). I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter was heartbreaking and reassuring and complicated and full of emotion and self discovery.
concepts this book confronts and highlights:
- Cultural family expectations for daughters (patriarchy)
- Complexities of bilingualism in the US for immigrants and children of immigrants
- Death and grief
- Mental health support and de-stigmatizing therapy in communities of color
- Poverty and food insecurity
- Internalized racism and xenophobia
Moderate: Gun violence, Misogyny, Sexual content, Toxic relationship, Xenophobia, Medical content, Suicide attempt, Alcohol, and Sexual harassment
