Gabi’s family life is unbalanced. Her father is a drug addict who comes in and out of her life sporadically. Her mother tries desperately to keep her tethered to the values of her traditional Mexican heritage. Gabi Hernandez chronicles her last year in high school in her diary: college applications, Cindy’s pregnancy, Sebastian’s coming out, the cute boys, her father’s meth habit, and the food she craves. And best of all, the poetry that helps forge her identity.When she gets into her number one school,
Berkley, her decision gets even harder.
I would recommend this to high school students. I think that this book has a style of its own since it is Gabi telling her story in a diary with letters to her dad about how he is making her feel.
