Summary: In this novel written in free verse, Nima doesn't feel understood. By her mother, who grew up far away in a different land. By her suburban town, which makes her feel too much like an outsider. And most recently, by her childhood friend. As the ground is pulled out from under her, Nima must grapple with the phantom of a life not chosen and she might have to fight for it with a fierceness she never knew she had.
