Perfectly Parvin / Olivia Abtahi.
"After being dumped at the beginning of freshman year, Iranian-American Parvin Mohammadi sets out to win the ultimate date to Homecoming"-- Provided by publisher.
If Parvin Mohammadi can get Matty Fumero to ask her to homecoming, she's positive it will erase all the awful and embarrassing feelings He Who Will Not Be Named left her with after the summer. Since being herself has not worked for her in the past, she decides to be the girl who finally gets the guy: act like the women in her favorite rom-coms. Easy enough, right? But Parvin discovers that being a rom-com dream girl is much harder than it looks. Also hard? The parent-mandated Farsi lessons. A confusing friendship with a boy who's definitely not supposed to like her. And hardest of all, the ramifications of the Muslim ban on her family in Iran. Suddenly, being herself has never been more important. 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. --adapted from Goodreads info
