Arvin Ahmadi has written a novel that is authentic, hilarious and heart-wrenching all at once. A unique point of view combined with riveting storytelling, How It All Blew Up will grab you from the first the page and won' t let go - Angie Thomas, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THE HATE U GIVE and ON THE COME UPEighteen-year-old Amir Azadi always knew that coming out to his Muslim family would be messy, but he wasn' t expecting it to end in an airport interrogation room. Now, he' s telling his side of the story to the stern-faced officer. Amir has to explain why he ran away to Rome (boys, bullies, blackmail) and what he was doing there for a month (dates in the Sistine Chapel, friends who helped him accept who he is, and, of course, drama) . . . all while his mum, dad and little sister are being interrogated in the room next door. A nuanced take on growing up brown, Muslim and gay in today' s America, HOW IT ALL BLEW UP is the story of one boy' s struggle to come out to his family, and how that painful process exists right alongside his silly, sexy romp through Italy.
Compelling, clever, and achingly honest. A book for anyone who has ever grappled with who they are and who they want to be. -- Katherine Webber * Katherine Webber *
