Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer

4.0

Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win was such a fresh YA novel. A story about a young Iranian American trying to make her dreams come true while struggling with being true to herself and her culture and to the people she loves most. There are moments when I wanted to shake jasmine’s shoulders and yell “What are you doing?!” But that’s the teenage years in every generation. This book is truly near 5 stars for me but i unfortunately as a reader cringed a little too much with Jasmine’s choices towards the end of the book. The ending also had some rush pacing in my opinion. But again, I really did enjoy this book. I really adored the relationship between her and her aunt though and wish we got to see more of that.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the digital ARC in exchange for my honest opinions.
