Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer

3.0

It is a quick read, and I did learn more about the Iranian hostage crisis. But Jasmine is a tough character to like, there are a lot of just a little too convenient plot points that move the story along, and the other characters are just so flat. It did not seem funny/humorous to me as the blurb promised. Also, there is a lot of underage drinking and smoking (yeah, I know, it's set in 1979 but still) & mentions of sex that make me hesitant to recommend it to anyone below 9th grade.
