Her parents are devastated and decide to whisk Rukhsana off to Bangladesh, where she is thrown headfirst into a world of arranged marriages and tradition. But when her parents catch her kissing her girlfriend Ariana, all of Rukhsana's plans fall apart. Luckily, only a few more months stand between her carefully monitored life in Seattle and her new life at Caltech. She rolls her eyes when they blatantly favor her brother and saves her crop tops and makeup for parties her parents don't know about.
Seventeen-year-old Rukhsana Ali tries her hardest to live up to her conservative Muslim parents' expectations, but lately she's finding that impossible to do. With a welcome mix of humor, heart, and high-stakes drama, Sabina Khan provides a timely and honest portrait of what it's like to grow up feeling unwelcome in your own culture.
