(3) YA Nina, a Pakistani-Muslim eleventh grader living in New York State, struggles with her identity. Worse though, she's hirsute, self-deprecatingly calling herself "skunk girl" because of a line of dark hair down her back. When a boy Nina likes reciprocates her feelings, Nina must reconcile her parents' beliefs with her own complicated desires. Caught between two cultures, Nina's a believable character making tough choices.
