Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer
Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.
Thanks to NetGalley & St. Martin's Press for the early copy in exchange for an honest review. Sadly, I stopped at 40% due to a lack of interest.
This book is set in the 1970s, following Jasmine, a conflicted American-Iranian second-generation running for class president in her high school. She makes empty promises to her fellow classmates and the promises spiral out of control.
I really couldn't stand *any* of the characters. I kept hoping Jasmine would get better but she never did. Her brother Ali was so much better and less infuriating than Jasmine, I wanted the story to focus on him instead. A really neat idea for a story but man I couldn't stand anyone in this book except for the brother.
