"Yaqui Delgado wants to kick your ass." That’s what some girl tells Piddy Sanchez one morning before school. Too bad Piddy doesn’t even know who Yaqui Delgado is, let alone what she’s done to piss her off. All Piddy knows is that Yaqui hates her - and she better watch her back because Yaqui isn’t kidding around. At first Piddy just focuses on trying to find out more about the father she’s never met and how to balance honors courses with her weekend job at the neighborhood hair salon. But as the harassment escalates, avoiding Yaqui and her gang starts to take over Piddy’s life. Is there any way for Piddy to survive without closing herself off and running away from her problems?
In this poignant and all-too-realistic story from award-winning author Meg Medina, Piddy is forced to decide exactly who she is versus who others are trying to make her become - and ultimately discovers a rhythm that is all her own.

I get the point of what the author was trying to do with this story. It's a coming of age story hidden as a narrative about bullying and it's works because sometimes finding out who you are comes from being put in situations that make you question how you want the world to see you. If I have one complaint is that just because your story is written in the first person doesn't mean that your protagonist should be the only likable and relatable character. I've read plenty of first person POV books where I loved and related to other characters besides the main character. Everyone besides Piddy felt more like fillers for something.
This is a great book that I feel teenaged girls should read, especially young women of color because the narrative about cultural identity rings true for me too. Although I'm not Spanish, I think alot of teen girls of color have been faced with the "Am I (insert ethnicity here) enough" because somebody somewhere during their growing up experience gave them a hard time about not fitting an ethnic stereotype. I really liked this book, but I didn't love it but it is a good read, especially if your a victim of bullying.
Realistic, Good, but very Frustrating
