Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel

Written by Sara Farizan

Narrated by Negin Farsad

Leila has made it most of the way through Armstead Academy without having a crush on anyone, which is a relief. As an Iranian American, she's different enough; if word got out that Leila liked girls, life would be twice as hard.  But when beautiful new girl Saskia shows up, Leila starts to take risks she never thought she would.

As she carefully confides in trusted friends about Saskia's confusing signals, Leila begins to figure out that all her classmates are more complicated than they first appear to be, and some are keeping surprising secrets of their own.

Reviews for Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel

[Yna Gabrinao · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Trigger warning for use of slurs and verbal abuse. Overall, a good coming of age novel.

[Chaotic Virgo · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Worth the 5-hr listen. The writing isn’t anything spectacular and the lot leaves much to be desired, but the characters linger and the issues don’t feel phony as many YA tend to be. A must got high schoolers
