Product description

Review

β€˜This gripping debut about a Mexican-American misfit is alive and crackling – a gritty tale wrapped in a page-turner… Part detective story, part coming-of-age tale, SΓ‘nchez’s novel doesn’t shy from heavy subject matter.’

-- New York Times

β€˜This book will change everything… A perfect book about imperfection.’

-- Juan Felipe Herrera, Poet Laureate of the United States

β€˜Unique and fresh.’

-- Entertainment Weekly

β€˜A wonderfully complex and interesting character.’

-- Los Angeles Review of Books

β€˜If you ever wanted to [understand] the harsh truths of immigrant life, this is the book you need to read.’

-- Bustle

β€˜Years ago, I fell in love with Erika L. SΓ‘nchez’ stunning novel... The depth, wit and searing intelligence of her writing, and her young Latina heroine, struck me to my core and left me wanting so much more.’

-- America Ferrera

”Why does everything hurt all the time?” might be the perfect YA fiction line… It may seem melodramatic, but like so many questions raised within young adult fiction, it’s one we return to throughout our lives… The tensions of first-generation immigrants are explored deftly… SΓ‘nchez gives an authentic teen voice here. There’s a specific ache associated with being young and hurting… and it leaps off the age in this novel… This is a gorgeous novel.’

-- Irish Times

β€˜An earnest and heartfelt tale.’

-- Booklist

β€˜This powerful, compelling novel covers issues relating to present-day teenagers – ethnicity issues, cultural stresses, mental health – but the vivid American context sets them at a slight distance for British readers, and opens up opportunities for discussion.’

― School Librarian

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2024

    This book follows the protagonist Julia Reyes through some difficult teenage years as she navigates trauma, personal growth, and being torn between two cultures.

    This book is brought to life through the witty, blunt realist we meet in the main character. With a maturity that reaches beyond her years, she navigates the chaos of her teenage years. Who is she expected to be? Who does she want to be? We see Julia face many difficulties and hardships. This is a story of resilience and hope and gives a great insight into Mexican culture and identity.

    At times, this story is heart wrenching and does not shy away from realising depictions of death, the impact of trauma, the breakdown of family relationships and self harm. So, there is a trigger warning attached for those topics.

    However, this book feels important, something teenagers should read to realise β€˜you are not alone’ and β€˜your emotions are valid’ as you navigate this perfectly imperfect life.
