โฆ Synopsis
A mesmerizing novel in verse about family, identity, and finding yourself in the most unexpected places --for fans of The Poet X , I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter , and Jason Reynolds.
Nima doesn't feel understood. By her mother, who grew up far away in a different land. By her white suburban town, which feels both dangerous and familiar. At least she has her childhood friend Haitham, with whom she can let her guard down and be herself.
Until she doesn't. As the ground is pulled out from under her, Nima must grapple with the phantom of a life not chosen, the name her parents didn't give her at birth: Yasmeen. But that other name, that other girl, might just be more real than Nima knows. And more hungry.
This book is a story of mothers and daughters, of friends and enemies, of journeys and homecomings, and of realizing that sometimes the person you're meant to be has been staring at you in the mirror all along.
