“I just feel like it’s unfair, that my whole life is unfair,
like I was born into the wrong place and family. I never feel like I belong
anywhere.”
I received a free digital
copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Julia Reyes loves to write, and she
always dreams of moving out from her parents’ house, go to college and see the
world. But that’s not how a ‘Perfect Mexican Daughter’ supposed to be. ‘Perfect
Mexican Daughters’ do not go away to college and move out of their parents’
house. They’re never abandon their family, they dedicated their life for their
family like Julia’s older sister – Olga. But her sister Olga is dead and
Julia’s family has been shattered to pieces. Julia’s mother channel her grief
into pointing out every possible way Julia has failed, and compare her to Olga.
No on in her family seems to acknowledge that Julia is broken by this tragedy
too. But then Julia found out that Olga hides another life from her family,
another personality that she never shows to any of her family member. Julia
then determined to find out if there’s more to her sister story while dealing
with not being a ‘Perfect Mexican Daughter.’
