Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer
3.0
Jasmine is in the midst of her senior year while filling out her college application and she needs that something 'extra'. Her options are running out and it seems the only thing left worth putting on her app will be winning a presidential election. Will Jasmine will the election and get into her dream school of NYU to then become a famous music reporter?
On her journey Jasmine must also examine her identity of being an Irish-American-Iranian-Perisan, and how she presents that to her follow seniors. The story is also filled with friendships, crushes, fights between friends and siblings. Along the way Jasmine is also dealing with her parents being separated and maybe getting divorced.
Would recommend to readers that enjoy realistic fiction mixed with a little historical fiction, as this story takes place in the context of the 70s. Lovers of music would also enjoy, lots of musical references.
