Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer
5.0
What do you do when you have the moral compass of an 18 year old high school senior who needs another extracurricular on your nyu college application? Lie of course, then try to make it truth afterwards.
Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win is a slam dunk book that blends history, character, and present day headlines into a seamless story about the internal conflicts we all face when living in a powder keg.
Its a well-written, well-paced, contemporary about finding your voice, losing yourself, and accepting responsibility for all that comes after.
There will be times you want to reach through the text and literally shake Jasmine "Katie" until her brains are unscrambled and in the very next paragraph wanna hold her hand and let her be. A completely complex and fleshed out character study for sure
