Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review. It has been published in December 2020.

"Finding My Voice" by Marie Myung-Ok Lee is the timeless coming of age story of Ellen Sung, a seventeen-year-old Korean American girl who attends an all-white high school in Arkin, Minnesota.
It was first published in print in 1992 and is now being reissued as an audiobook without any edits.
I must say I enjoyed this novel even more than I was expecting: it has a deliciously authentic feeling and it definitely stands the test of time.
The protagonist is extremely relatable, even though I don't belong to an ethnic minority myself, because this story speaks to the heart of anybody who's ever felt different for any reason at all, anybody who went through high school wishing they were more popular or struggled to meet parental expectations and to live up to an older sibling's unattainable achievements.
The plot is perfectly believable: it focuses on exams, sports, crushes... nothing so extraordinary that couldn't have happened to anybody else in the same situation.
The only thing I didn't appreciate was the presence of a few body-shaming remarks.
The narrator has a very pleasant voice, which suits the first-person narration protagonist perfectly.
Overall, I can definitely recommend this novel.
