Golden Girl by Reem Faruqi

4.0

Aafiyah lives a very privileged life in Atlanta as Pakistani-American whose father makes plenty of money, she has every physical thing she needs, yet she can't seem to stop herself from stealing, it is almost like scratching an itch. She must do it. When her father is arrested at the airport for embezzling money, and her mother is forced to support the family and pay the legal bills, her compulsion to steal gets tangled up with wanting to do something for her family, to help out.

What I liked about the book:
The simple, short poems
The weird facts
The way that religion is incorporated into the family's life
The resolution.
