I don't actually see any direct connection between the cover and the story, but it's pretty enough. This book surprised me in the best way. I loved it!Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-61538313319159698332017-08-15T08:57:53.296-04:002017-08-15T08:57:53.296-04:00I love #ownvoices books! :D Tick and double tick f...I love #ownvoices books! :D Tick and double tick from me! The cover is a bit blah, but I haven't read many Iranian characters so I am intrigued.

The parts about the Iranian Revolution sound especially interesting. <br /><br />I didn't have any kind of sweet 16 party and neither did my daughters.

I just finished reading a very young YA book -- well the characters are 16, but the book sounds like they're 13 or 14, maybe? It's very confusing and everything is wrapped up nicely, but there's very little substance to it. This soounds like it's got some oomph behind it!
