Not the Girls You're Looking For, by Aminah Mae Safi

A novel about a girl Lulu Saad, a half Iraqi girl living in Texas. Not the Girls You're Looking For, by Aminah Mae Safi discusses themes of identity and racial prejudice as well as friendships and relationships.

This story uniquely explores friendship dynamics as well as giving representation to a group of people that are not very represented in media. I enjoyed this book.
