📚CONTEST: Enter to win an advanced readers copy

📚CONTEST: Enter to win an advanced readers copy of Sofia Mostaghimi's gripping Desperada ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
.
We're so blown away by Toronto author Sofia Mostaghimi's debut novel. If you're looking for a sharply written page-turner, this is it.
.
.
In Desperada, a young Iranian-Canadian woman quits her job after her younger sister dies, and then flees her family, seeking escape and possibly transformation in travel, sex and drugs. The story begins in Toronto but takes readers all over the world: Reykjavik, Paris, Barcelona, and all the way to the beaches of Thailand. Mostaghimi explores the theme of escapism, in its myriad of forms, constantly examining what her main character, Kora, is running from.
.
.
The writing is propulsive. The characters are complex, fascinating, and relatable. The constant travel makes for a thrilling read. Truly, Desperada is unputdownable.
.
.
👉LIKE this post + TAG A FELLOW BOOK LOVER for a chance to win an advanced readers copy from @PenguinRandomCa, and keep an eye out for a Q&A with Mostaghimi publishing next month, when the novel hits shelves (April 18).
