Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer
5.0
Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Genre: Womens Fiction
Format: Audiobook
Date Published: 11/1/22
Author: Susan Azim Boyer
Publisher: Macmillan Audio
Narrator: Lanna Joffrey
GR: 4.25
I requested a digital advanced readers copy from NetGalley and Macmillan Audio and providing my opinion voluntarily and unbiased.
My Thoughts: Even though Jasmine is flawed, made one bad decision after another, you could not help but root for her. Jasmine was strong, independent, and motivated to get into the college of her dreams. Even though she creates a mess, she cleans up the mess. Then there is Mike, whose morals are solid, and you just want to do better by him. Using the student election to play on current US politics was brilliant. The supporting characters were amazing. The narrator does an excellent job at the voices, making different character imprints, and just brings the whole story to life. The author does an amazing job with the Iranian-American culture, providing such amazing detail, that you felt connected to the culture. The characters were well developed with depth, witty banter, chemistry, and just creatively woven throughout the story. The author’s write style was complex, multifaceted, funny, authentic, thought provoking, and beautiful. This is just a beautiful, poignant story about a young girl caught between cultures, just trying to make her imprint in the world. The story is beautiful, heartbreaking, and funny. This book released last week, I do highly recommend picking up the audiobook.
