Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer
4.0
Oh boy Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win gave me flashbacks to my 80's teenage years. This novel is filled with pop culture references, its music and the news that defined the times.
This book tells the story of one girls run for Senior Class President in the early 80's. Her dream of NYU in on the line, so this campaign is ride or die for her. The politics are reminiscent of today's elections with polling, campaign stops and tactics to make her look better than her opponent. Jasmine's integrity is tested pulling her dream further from reach rather than closer.
Jasmine character is messy and she blunders many choices. But its through her campaign that she sees exactly what family, friendship and sacrifice mean to be happy into adulthood.
