I’m Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter meets Emergency Contact in this stunning story of first love, familial expectations, the power of food, and finding where you belong.
As an aspiring pastry chef, Penelope Prado has always dreamed of opening her own pastelerĂa next to her father’s restaurant, Nacho’s Tacos. But her mom and dad have different plans — leaving Pen to choose between disappointing her traditional Mexican-American parents or following her own path. When she confesses a secret she’s been keeping, her world is sent into a tailspin. But then she meets a cute new hire at Nacho’s who sees through her hard exterior and asks the questions she’s been too afraid to ask herself.
Xander Amaro has been searching for home since he was a little boy. For him, a job at Nacho’s is an opportunity for just that — a chance at a normal life, to settle in at his abuelo’s, and to find the father who left him behind. But when both the restaurant and Xander’s immigrant status are threatened, he will do whatever it takes to protect his new found family and himself.
Together, Pen and Xander must navigate first love and discovering where they belong — both within their families and their fiercely loyal Chicanx community — in order to save the place they all call home.

New Question #3
Since this is an anthology interview requests are different as well. If you wish to interview the author, it must be the author that matches your identity. If you answer yes you will be prompted to answer in which platform.
That was A LOT of information! I apologize we just want you to know what’s new, so there aren’t any surprises.

Hello friends!
We are so excited to announce that our next tour is Miss Meteor by Tehlor Kay Mejia and Anna-Marie McLemore. We are looking for #OwnVoices readers that identify as Mexican, Mexican-American, Trans, and/ or Pansexual. If that’s you, be sure to fill out the form here. If you know someone that identifies as either Mexican, Mexican-American, Trans, and/ or Pansexual, please pass along this information to them so they can see if they are interested.
Astrid and Dani joined forces to advocate for this book, check out what they had to say:
I am a fan of both McLemore’s lyrical prose and Mejia’s character development and am eager to see how their styles work together and what they have created. The novel revolving around themes of loving yourself, sharing who you are with the world, friendship, self-discovery, and letting the past go are the reasons why I am drawn to this novel.
-Astrid & Dani
