A girl like that

Autor: Tanaz Bhathena

The book begins with a fatal car crash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, that kills sixteen-year-old Zarin Wadia and her classmate, Porus Dumasia.  Zarin was known as a “troublemaker” and a “slut” by her community—a girl who smoked, dated boys, and defied her aunt and uncle.  The Investigation: As the story moves backward in time, it uncovers the truth behind the rumors. It explores Zarin’s complicated past, her search for love, and the real reason she and Porus (the only boy who truly saw her for who she was) were in that car. It is a gripping exploration of rumor, culture, and the double standards faced by young women in the Middle East
