(4) YA Lulu Saad makes out with guys without getting emotionally attached. When loyalty to boys disrupts her friendships with girls, Lulu has an identity crisis. Daughter of a Muslim Iraqi immigrant and a Louisianan, Lulu goes from feeling "in-between" to somebody who can "communicate across invisible borders." While at times unfocused, this coming-of-age novel adds much-needed nuance to the representation of Arab American youth.
