About this ebook
No pizza. No boyfriend. (No life.) Okay, so during Ramadan, we're not allowed to eat from sunrise to sunset. For one whole month. My family does this every year, even though I've been to a mosque exactly twice in my life. And it's true, I could stand to lose a few pounds. (Sadly, my mom's hotness skipped a generation.) But is starvation really an acceptable method? I think not. Even worse, my oppressive parents forbid me to date. This is just cruel and wrong. Especially since Peter, a cute and crushable artist, might be my soul mate. Figures my bestest friend Lisa likes him, too. To top it off, there's a new Muslim girl in school who struts around in super-short skirts, commanding every boy's attention—including Peter's. How can I get him to notice me? And will I ever figure out how to be Muslim and American?

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I've read several other YA books about adolescents dealing with acculturation issues. Born Confused comes to mind. Sadly, all we get here is a whiney adolescent with darker skin. She never moves forward. Her Islamic culture seems to only exist in her grandfather's negative comments and the after sundown pig-out dinners. No substance here; move along.
