Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer

4.0

4 very enthusiastic stars for this one! I won an ARC of this book via a Goodreads giveaway, and I’m so glad that I did. This isn’t my usual genre, but I loved the character-driven narrative. The central story is a bit predictable, but the high school anguish mixed with the realities of being a mixed “Persian Irish American” makes for a compelling character study. A bit Mean Girls, a bit Election, and a bit Almost Famous, Susan Azim Boyer created a compulsively readable story. And now I desperately want a pair of Candies and a TAB!
