Dear John-- 

I’m so excited to share my new book, Perfectly Parvin, with you. So much so, that I wanted to give you an exclusive preview of the book! You can now read an excerpt from the first chapter here.

Amid the turmoil of high school friendships and crushes, I wrote Perfectly Parvin to show that being yourself is always the perfect way to be. And I’m so excited to share my book and my experience as an Iranian-American author with my community. 

That’s why I’m hoping you’ll join me at my upcoming book talk THIS Thursday, May 27 at 5:30 PM MT/7:30 PM ET!
