Everythings changed-new apartment, new school, new family dynamic-and Sol desperately wants to fit in. I look forward to seeing Bravo’s voice mature and see what else she can come up with.About the Book After her mothers deportation last year, all Soledad Sol Gutierrez wants is for her life to go back to normal. This is a promising debut from a young author, Shay Bravo. It’s really the characters that make this book enjoyable.

The cast of characters is diverse, and getting to know them was also quite fun. Sol and I have very little in common so Historically Inaccurate was, for me, an interesting look into the world through a fresh set of eyes. The book centers around Sol as she makes some interesting choices in life and love. Sol is attending the local community college and doing her best to deal with her mother’s deportation. Historically Inaccurate is a coming-of-age story about a college-aged girl who has a lot going on, as main characters in these books often do.
