Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer
4.0
This reviewer was given a copy of the book by the publisher on NetGalley.
Jasmine Zumideh is full of pop culture references to the 1970s, girl boss attitude, and Iranian American pride. The characters are very flawed but still likeable. Jasmine and her brother are two sides of the same Iranian American coin, and their friends have varying degrees of misguided patriotism and understanding. The title will appeal to teens especially because it tackles themes like friendship, betrayal, dysfunctional families, and identity.
