Catalina by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio
3.0
emotional funny reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I struggled with the first part of the book, the main character's narration was hard to follow. There were a lot of references to authors and artists that I was not familiar with and also did not have context to. 

I loved the second half and thought it told a very sad and important perspective on the flawed immigration/citizenship system in place in the US.
