graceburke 's review for:

Furia by Yamile Saied Méndez
5.0

I read Furia in a coffee shop in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. An easy read with a young adult audience, Yamile Saied Mendez explores Camila's double life. Mendez explores complex family relationships and Argentinian culture, but at the heart of it is a girl with not only a big dream, but drive, ambition, and passion. She's resilient and determined, and caring and loving. Mendez combines the struggles of womanhood and being a teenager, to show the complexities of being a teenage girl. This book made me smile more times than I can count.
