In her debut, Abtahi deftly navigates Parvin’s transitional life phase, equipping her heroine with enough humor and moxie to see her through even the toughest challenges. Only what if Wesley was right, and Parvin’s too loud, too Iranian, and generally too much for anyone to be interested in her? So starts Operation Act Like a Rom-Com Heroine, wherein Parvin decides to put away the Cheetos, clamp down on her instincts to talk a lot, wax off all her body hair, and nab herself a boyfriend. But on the very first day of school, Wesley dumps her-he says she’s “too loud.” Well, Parvin’s got the perfect revenge plan lined up: if she can get smoking hot sophomore Matty Fumero to ask her to the homecoming dance, then Wesley will be eating his words. Parvin Mohammadi, 14, couldn’t be more excited about starting high school with a boyfriend.
