Overview
Debut author Aminah Mae Safi's honest and smart young adult novel is about how easy it can be to hurt those around you even if—especially if—you love them.
Lulu Saad doesn't need your advice, thank you very much. She's got her three best friends and nothing can stop her from conquering the known world. Sure, for half a minute she thought she’d nearly drowned a cute guy at a party, but he was totally faking it. And fine, yes, she caused a scene during Ramadan. It's all under control. Ish.
Except maybe this time she’s done a little more damage than she realizes. And if Lulu can't find her way out of this mess soon, she'll have to do more than repair friendships, family alliances, and wet clothing. She'll have to go looking for herself.
Praise for Not the Girls You're Looking For:
"Safi’s prose style has a lively staccato rhythm that captures Lulu’s spirited nature. . .In addition to Safi’s focus on multicultural identity, her story provides a candid perspective on female friendships that are full of conflict, love, and angst. . .Safi offers a refreshing perspective on conformity and the path to self-actualization." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Safi’s debut novel offers Arab and Muslim readers a teenager they can relate to as they too learn to navigate racial and religious tensions in a predominantly white society. Delightful and funny but still giving voice to serious issues of sexual consent and xenophobia." —Kirkus Reviews
