It Ain't So Awful, Falafel was a great book about a girl growing up in the late 1970s. She's Iranian and she has been repeatedly moving back and forth from Iran to America her whole life and finally, she settles down in Newport Beach, California. Her name is Zomorod which means emerald in Iranian, but she decides to change it Cindy because she thinks it will make her fit in more. All of her family is back in Iran while Khomeini takes over. Part of her is in Iran and the other part of her is in California. The book is sad at some points and really funny and happy at other points. In the book Cindy goes over to her friend's house and discovers taco night. That becomes her favorite meal ever! So we had taco night for our book club.
