Book ID/图书代码: 00342515B77203
English Summary/英文概要: "Both personal and universal, this is a compelling story about high school, family and owning up to who you really are. Farizan is just the voice YA needs right now. Trust me, you’ll be glad you listened." --Sarah Dessen Leila has made it most of the way through Armstead Academy without having a crush on anyone, which is something of a relief. As an Iranian American, she’s different enough; if word got out that she liked girls, life would be twice as hard. But when beautiful new girl Saskia shows up, Leila starts to take risks she never thought she would, especially when it looks as if the attraction between them is mutual. Struggling to sort out her growing feelings and Saskia’s confusing signals, Leila confides in her old friend, Lisa, and grows closer to her fellow drama tech-crew members, especially Tomas, whose comments about his own sexuality are frank, funny, wise, and sometimes painful. Gradually, Leila begins to see that almost all her classmates are more complicated than they first appear to be, and many are keeping fascinating secrets of their own.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: “《再告诉我次心动的感觉》是一个关于高中、家庭和自我认知的故事,无论从个人还是大众的角度出发,都是非常优秀、吸引人的作品。福瑞森的声音正是现代的青少年所需要的。相信我,你会喜欢这部作品的。”——莎拉•德森•利拉拼尽全力考上了奥姆斯特德学院,从来没对谁有过心动的感觉,而这种无感似乎成为了她的一种信仰。作为一个伊朗籍的美国人,利拉已经够与众不同了,如果再传出她喜欢的其实是女孩,利拉的生活会更加艰辛。但是当班上的新同学,美丽的女孩萨斯基亚出现时,利拉开始情不自禁地想要冒险接近她,而她发现这种强烈的吸引居然是相互的。为了搞明白她日益增长的情感和萨斯基亚充满迷惑的暗示,利拉向她的老朋友丽萨吐露了自己的秘密。利拉还与戏剧社的成员,尤其是汤姆斯变得热络起来。汤姆斯常评论自己的性生活也是坦白、有趣、聪明、有时也是伤痛的。渐渐地,利拉发现自己的这些同学都比自己想象的要复杂得多,各自也保守着自己的秘密。(XAT)
Awards/获奖情况:“福瑞森的声音正是现代的青少年所需要的,不愧为《纽约时代》畅销书作家。主角莎拉•德森为我们带来了一个温暖而激励人心的故事。故事中的人物也刻画得非常入微——克里斯提娜,一个痴迷于吸血鬼文化的剧院技术成员;汤姆斯,克里斯提娜一直施予帮助的同志中学戏剧导演和负责人;还有苔丝,一个自信而充满活力的书呆子——这些角色使得作品更加阳光,有趣,暖心,充满智慧。”——《柯克斯评论》
“情节展开得十分,娴熟的写作技法、鲜活的角色发展使得读者能非常真切地感受到角色的喜悲,青少年都会非常喜欢这部作品的。波斯文化的碎片也得以在小说中得以呈现,记叙中东同性恋少年题材的小说非常少,这部校园小说正好填补了这个缺口。利拉脱离朋友和家庭、以及担心父母失望的情绪会在青少年中引起广泛的共鸣。”——《学校图书馆杂志》
"Sara Farizan is just the voice YA needs right now." --#1 "New York Times" bestselling author Sarah Dessen "A warm and uplifting coming-out story . . . An appealing cast of well-drawn characters--Christina, a vampire-obsessed theater tech-crew member, Tomas, the gay director and taskmaster of the middle school play she helps with, and Tess, a refreshingly confident nerdy girl--makes the story shine. Lessons abound . . . but skilful character development keeps Leila’s discoveries from ever feeling didactic. Funny, heartwarming and wise." --"Kirkus Reviews" "With a plot that unfolds naturally, good writing, and vivid character development that leaves readers alternately cringing and aching for the protagonist, teens will find a satisfying coming-of-age novel. Fragments of Persian culture are incorporated smoothly within the narrative. Books featuring gay and lesbian teens of Middle Eastern descent are rare, and this engaging high school drama fills that need. Leila’s coming out to her friends and family, and her fear of disappointing her parents will resonate with all young adults." --"School Library Journal"
