determines to remake herself as a demure, seen-but-not-heard young lady. “The ebullient, eponymous heroine of Olivia Abtahi’s novel Perfectly Parvin-a prankster with a rambunctious wit. “At its heart, this breezy YA title is about trying to find love by pretending to be someone else when being yourself is all that matters.” - Brightly Smart, funny, and full of heart.” - Teen Librarian Toolbox “The fast-paced writing, wonderfully diverse cast, and very realistic and age-appropriate thoughts, choices, and realizations make this a solid read. A diverse, fast-paced, feminist romance.” - Kirkus Reviews “Parvin’s narratorial voice sparkles with wit and pathos, and her journey toward self-acceptance seamlessly incorporates political and emotional realities. Olivia Abtahi's debut is as hilarious as it is heartfelt-a delightful tale where, amid the turmoil of high school friendships and crushes, being yourself is always the perfect way to be.“Abtahi writes a touching contemporary that's hilariously heartfelt about one girl's journey to self-discovery.” - Buzzfeed Suddenly, being herself has never been more important.

And hardest of all, the ramifications of the Muslim ban on her family in Iran. A confusing friendship with a boy who's definitely not supposed to like her. Also hard? The parent-mandated Farsi lessons. But Parvin discovers that being a rom-com dream girl is much harder than it looks. Those women aren't loud, they certainly don't cackle when they laugh, and they smile much more than they talk. Since being herself hasn't worked for her in the past (see aforementioned dumping), she decides to start acting like the women in her favorite rom-coms. There's just one problem: Matty is definitely too cool for bassoon-playing, frizzy-haired, Cheeto-eating Parvin. If Parvin can get Matty to ask her to Homecoming, she's positive it will prove to herself and her ex that she's girlfriend material after all. Enter high school heartthrob Matty Fumero, who just might be the smoking-hot cure to all her boy problems.

Not only is she heartbroken, she's humiliated. Parvin Mohammadi has just been dumped-only days after receiving official girlfriend status. *Odyssey Honor Audiobook* Fourteen-year-old Iranian-American Parvin Mohammadi sets out to win the ultimate date to homecoming in this heartfelt and outright hilarious debut.
