I loved this book! It's a gem. It's entertaining, easy to read, funny, and charming. I read this over one day. Firoozeh held my attention the whole way with her anecdotes about her lovable, quirky Iranian American family's misadventures in the USA. If you like reading fish out of water stories, you'll love this. It's a light-hearted look at what it's like to grow up in a culture that's so different from the one you were born into. Don't pass on this book. You get a good glimpse into what it's like to be an immigrant. A good book for anyone interested in seeing America from a different perspective. Might be a good book for a book club. I can see a lot of meaningful discussions arising from this book.
