If You Could Be Mine by Sara Farizan
In Iran, its a crime punishable by death to be gay. Sex reassignment surgery, however, is considered a way to fix a mistake. Sahar has been in love with her best friend, Nasrin, since they were six. But when Nasrins parents announce that her arranged marriage will be in a matter of months, Sahar must decide the lengths shell go to for love.
"Farizan's prose is frank, funny and bittersweet, enjoyable - And her secondary storylines ring out memorably" - New York Times Book Review "[A] provocative coming-of-age story ... Throughout this strong debut, Farizan weaves in details of daily Iranian life ... Within a rigid societal structure, her fleshed-out characters wrestle with depression, hope, complacency, and risk." --Publishers Weekly
