Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer

3.0

Thank you so much to TLC Book Tours for an early, gifted copy of Jasmine Zumideh Needs A Win! I was so excited to dive into Jasmine's story. Full of fun music and other pop culture references, I found the story easy to read and relatable. But it also tied into some more serious topics like the Iran Hostage Crisis and racism. I found Jasmine's journey of self discovery to be honest and flawed, just like a teen's story would be. I think that anyone who ever felt like they didn't fit in because of their identity and was embarrassed of their family/culture could absolutely relate to the struggles faced by Jasmine in this book. Could have done without the Rush slander (how dare you!) but I'll allow it this one time. I can't say enough great things about this book and I'm really glad I got to read an early copy. Happy publication day to Jasmine and the author, Susan Azim Boyer.
