| Publisher Description: When Mona Karim is invited to join the most exclusive sorority on her college campus, she is convinced that her lifelong efforts to abandon her Iranian heritage and become part of the in-crowd have finally paid off. As a new member of the coveted Alpha Phi Omega sorority, she is quick to give her sister, Mya, and her best friend, Sadie, the cold shoulder and happily commit herself to the Cal Davis party scene, designer jeans, and a strict starvation diet. Although Mona's devotion is immediately rewarded with it-girl friends and a jam-packed social calendar, she quickly realizes that she may have signed up for more than she initially bargained for. When a life-altering event shakes her to her very core, Mona unexpectedly finds herself amidst a confusing internal struggle. Braving a back and forth tug of war between the true Mona and Mona, the sorority girl, she soon discovers that there may never be a clear winner. That just maybe the blood of both identities will pump through her veins forever. |
