America Ferrara is set to make her feature directorial debut with an adaptation of the young adultnovel I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter for Netflix.

The New York Times bestseller from Erika L. Sánchez follows Julia Reyes, the precocious and strong-willed teenaged daughter of first-generation Mexican immigrants.

She often clashes with her more traditional parents, who wish she were more like her sister Olga, the platonic ideal of a Mexican daughter.

However, when Olga is killed in a tragic accident, it is up to Julia to hold her family together. The novel was a National Book Award finalist in 2017 and winner of the 2018 Tomas Rivera Mexican American Children’s Book Award.
