"A powerful YA novel about identity and prejudice."
--Entertainment Weekly
"With humor, power, smarts, and honesty, Farizan has written a conversation-starter."
--The Boston Globe
"Here to Stay tackles serious, timely issues with grace, humor, and urgency--as the best YA novels do."
--HelloGiggles
"The novel effortlessly tackles several important societal issues, keeping them in the foreground without detracting from the main focus: Bijan's entertaining internal color commentary that reveals his thought processes. The resulting is an engaging page-turner. Powerful."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Islamophobia, racism, homo- and heterosexuality, toxic masculinity, offensive sports mascots, activism, friendship, immigration, school politics, gun rights, and a splash of Iranian history make this about a lot more than high-school sports."
--Booklist
"Farizan portrays the richness and warmth of the Persian culture of Bijan's proud mother. A touching subplot explores the romance and high school politics of a budding lesbian relationship. Recommended for all high school collections."
--School Library Journal
"Here to Stay is refreshingly frank, revealing the unsettling truth that the very social stigmas we pretend we have conquered still exist."
--The Salisbury Post
