Praise for Not the Girls Youre Looking For
Safis prose style has a lively staccato rhythm that captures Lulus spirited nature. . .In addition to Safis focus on multicultural identity, her story provides a candid perspective on female friendships that are full of conflict, love, and angst. . .Safi offers a refreshing perspective on conformity and the path to self-actualization. --Publishers Weekly, starred review
Safis debut novel offers Arab and Muslim readers a teenager they can relate to as they too learn to navigate racial and religious tensions in a predominantly white society. Delightful and funny but still giving voice to serious issues of sexual consent and xenophobia. --Kirkus Reviews
