this was one of the most wack job books ive ever read fr. like first off, idk maybe im misremembering my teen years, but i dont recall speaking in such a 2010 disney channel cringe fest manner smh. like these kids are so cringe. secondly, smtimes this book got me to wondering if the author is actually iranian?! cuz this was such a stereotypical and caricatural look at both teen girls and persians/iranians, just so annoying. so i mostly read this for the plot, and i do have to say the plot is very twisty turn-ey full of surprises, and its so fast smtimes it just skips scenes, like pacing anyone!?, but yeah this book is a trip !
