This is one weird book. It is an exercise in the title character coming to terms with her identity under difficult circumstances. I didn't like it but finished it to see how it could be ended.

This short novel is a real page-turner about the "Great" USA that trump and his acolytes want to create. It's a little lesson for those who think if ethnic people just play by the rules and cooperate nothing bad will happen to them.

This reader’s not fluent in Spanish, and that task is necessary to understand My Name Is Iris. Almost every page contains Spanish words and sentences, and for an English only reader this detracts from the story. Just when the story piques my interest, more Spanish phrases that eliminate the meaning. Ines/Iris complains all the time about her life, her husband, her parents, her sister, and her job. Iris dwells on the fact that she is a Mexican and not a authentic American because of her birth and skin coloring. When shopping with her daughter, many people think Iris is a nanny to Melanie because Melanie ha lighter skin. Yes, life for darker skinned individuals remains difficult, but Iris goes too far in her derogatory saga. Omit the multitude of Spanish if this book is intended for English speaking readers.… (meer)

Thank you to Goodreads for this ARC.

I didn't get this book at all. It was sci-fi/fantasy and I can say that I've never read sci-fi.

This book was just too strange for my taste and the ending definitely was.
