I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter
by Erika L. Sánchez
"Perfect daughters don't die. Julia is done being compared to one."
After her sister Olga — the perfect one — is killed crossing the street, Julia is left alone with her parents' grief and their disappointment in everything she is: loud, ambitious, hungry for a life beyond their Chicago apartment. Then she finds evidence that Olga wasn't so perfect after all. Fierce, funny and gutting in the same breath.
