Deanna (she_reads_truth_365)'s Reviews > The Things We Didn't Know

Debut novel by local Houstonian author Elba Iris Perez was fantastic! This is a powerful coming of age story that will tug on your heart strings. I was immersed in this relatable story from the beginning until the end. I felt connected to the characters and the authenticity of their journey. I loved this emotional and thought provoking novel that explored family drama, historical fiction, identities, cultural differences and gender stereotypes. I look forward to reading more stories by this author!
