Funny in Farsi

We had to read this book for school and while it wasn't terrible, it is definitely not something I would have picked out on my own.

Luckily I did find it humorous, otherwise it was have been absolutely awful to try and trudge through. There was even humor in some parts where it was quite tragic, so you kind of just sat there with a cringy smile on your face.

With all that said, there wasn't anything particularly memorable about this book for me. I'm not much of a memoir kind of person, and I only really felt like I truly connected with two characters in the novel, Firoozeh and Kazem. I also couldn't relate to a lot of the things in the book since I'm practically your definition of a basic white girl.

It's a nice book to attain more cultural knowledge, but beyond that it was just your regular old humorous memoir about some random person's life.
