Perfectly Parvin

In Odyssey Honor, fourteen-year-old Iranian-American Parvin Mohammadi faces heartbreak after a recent breakup, prompting her to set her sights on the popular Matty Fumero for Homecoming. Determined to show her ex that she's girlfriend material, Parvin tries to reinvent herself by emulating the idealized women from her favorite rom-coms, only to find that authenticity is far more challenging. Amid the complexities of high school and family challenges, including mandated Farsi lessons and the impact of the Muslim ban on her family in Iran, Parvin learns the importance of being true to herself in this humorous and touching debut by Olivia Abtahi.
