A Whole Song and Dance (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781368077552)

Sarah Dessen meets Abigail Hing Wen in this heartwarming romantic comedy starring Nasrin Mahdavi, an Iranian-American college freshman who's a triple threat on Broadway--but who's living a double life.

It's her first semester majoring in musical theater at NYU's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts, and Nasrin spends her days prepping for auditions, sweating through dance classes, and belting her heart out for the viral streaming show she's been cast in. But on calls with her maman and baba, she's the golden child who put her theater dreams aside to follow in their entrepreneurial footsteps as a business major.

At least her whole life isn't a lie--she is taking a single business course. Except she's kind of failing it. Nasrin needs to bring her grade up fast if she's going to keep her parents in the dark, so she grudgingly signs up for tutoring with the infuriatingly smug and annoyingly attractive Max. And yet . . . as the semester rushes by, the sparks of anger that first flew between them start to turn into a very different kind of spark. The kind she definitely does not have time for.

Except when Nasrin's charmingly devious cousin takes an interest in Max too, Nasrin has to figure out exactly what has been an act, and what's for real. Can Nasrin decide what--and who--is truly worth fighting for, and find a way to step into the spotlight as her full self?
