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.
But when beautiful new girl Saskia shows up, Leila starts to take risks she never thought she would. As an Iranian-American, she’s different enough if word got out that Leila liked girls, life would be twice as hard. Leila has made it most of the way through Armstead Academy without having a crush on anyone, which is a relief. “Farizan exceeds the high expectations she set with her debut, If You Could Be Mine, in this fresh, humorous, and poignant exploration of friendship and love, a welcome addition to the coming-out/coming-of-age genre.” - Publishers Weekly, starred review
