I enjoyed this so much! I really appreciated Jasmine's struggle to stay true to herself, her family, and friends with politics and her high school election in the foreground and romance taking a backseat. I really loved all of these characters and the sense of humor throughout. I would recommend to readers looking for an out of the box historical fiction pick with a strong narrative voice and vivid characters.
