Summary: "Nima doesnt feel understood. By her mother, who grew up far away in a different land. By her suburban town, which makes her feel too much like an outsider to fit in and not enough like an outsider to feel like that she belongs somewhere else. At least she has her childhood friend Haitham, with whom she can let her guard down and be herself. Until she doesnt. As the ground is pulled out from under her, Nima must grapple with the phantom of a life not chosen, the name her parents didnt give her at birth: Yasmeen. But that other name, that other girl, might just be more real than Nima knows. And more hungry. And the life Nima has, the one she keeps wishing were someone elses...she might have to fight for it with a fierceness she never knew she had."-- Publishers description.
