Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan
"Both personal and universal, this is a compelling story about high school, family and owning up to who you really are. Farizan is just the voice YA needs right now. Trust me, you'll be glad you listened." --Sarah Dessen
Leila has made it most of the way through Armstead Academy without having a crush on anyone, which is something of a relief. As an Iranian American, she's different enough; if word got out that she 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, especially when it looks as if the attraction between them is mutual.
Struggling to sort out her growing feelings and Saskia's confusing signals, Leila confides in her old friend, Lisa, and grows closer to her fellow drama tech-crew members, especially Tomas, whose comments about his own sexuality are frank, funny, wise, and sometimes painful. Gradually, Leila begins to see that almost all her classmates are more complicated than they first appear to be, and many are keeping fascinating secrets of their own.
Sara Farizan was born in Massachusetts, the daughter of Iranian immigrants. She has an MFA from Lesley University and a BA from American University in film and media studies. Sara grew up in a private high school where she felt unusual not only because of her ethnicity, but also because of her romantic interest in girls, her lack of enthusiasm for science and math, and her passion of writing plays and short stories. So, in college, she came out in the closet, learned that math and physics weren't so bad (but weren't for her), and decided to pursue a career as a writer. Sara has worked as a waitress, a comic book/record store employee, an art magazine blogger, a marketing temp, and an after-school teacher, but she has always been a writer first and foremost.
Sara lives in the Boston area, enjoys Kurosawa films, eighties R&B, and graphic novels, and believes that all children are wonderful. She is the bestselling author of Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel and If You Could Be Mine.
