📚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).
.
.
3 contest winners will be selected April 5th. GOOD LUCK. Desperada will be available to purchase wherever you buy books starting April 18.

Who else is a huge @aliwong fan? We can’t wait to see her star in BEEF, a dark and sinister comedy series arriving to @netflixca next month. For Ali, the role of a raging, revenge-seeking suburban mom and self-made entrepreneur was one she’d been waiting for. “It was a way to say what I’ve been wanting to say about relationships and being a working mom that I haven’t found a way to talk about onstage,” she told Hollywood Reporter. We’re very excited to see one of our favourite comedians take on this darker role. Also, really love her specs here ☝️. Head to the link in bio to watch the trailer.
