Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer
4.0
This was a great #ownvoices YA story set in 1979 California about a Iranian-American teen girl trying to get into college in NYC and pursue her music journalism career. The only problem - she lied on her college application and said she was already class president and now has to make sure she wins at all costs.
Full of witty dialogue, lots of high school drama and important conversations about race, complicated broken families and not judging people before you get to know them. I liked it a lot on audio narrated by Lanna Joffrey. Recommended for fans of The (un)popular vote or Blaine for the win.
Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for early digital copies in exchange for my honest review!
