Bloom into You

young adult, coming-of-age

teen girl who thinks herself incapable of love is shocked one day, when she randomly receives a love confession from a beautiful and popular senior student

they end up working on the student council together and having to organize the annual school play, while navigating conflicting feelings for each other

super slow, super angsty contemporary yuri manga set in a high school

explores themes like grief, desire, sexuality, self-identity, mental health and the pain of unrequited love

questionable demiromantic rep; as an aromantic person I found the rep subpar at best, albeit well-intentioned

one of the most iconic yuri manga with an anime adaptation and 8 official translated volumes

TW: sibling death, mental health issues, non-con kissing (frequent), explicit sex

Recommended for fans of: slower, more contemplative ya romance/fiction, set in an academic environment, think Hold Still by Nina Lacour or Just Another Epic Love Poem by Parisa Akhbari.

hello it's time for asks. what is your favourite book? what is your favourite movie? what is your least favourite book and least favourite movie?

oh hey teamcap. i am going to be very annoying and like. not have concise answers to this but currently my fave book is: just another epic love poem by parisa akhbari (it's SO GOOD it reminds me of myself in 5th and 6th grade, about queer brown people and has poetry and actual plot alongside romance).

Current favorite movie is Arrival(2016) (alien movie except not really scifi, can't say much without spoilers though) BUT ONLY THOSE TWO because ive seen them recently, idk if they're like fave of all time

Least favorite book... i don't really have any but i did just read a pretty bad YA romance novel which the only reason i stuck through with it was because it was gay. Honestly it wasn't even that bad I was just annoyed because it marketed itself as "enemies to lovers" BUT THEY GOT OVER THE ENEMIES PART IN LIKE 50 PAGES. AND THEN KISSED IN LIKE 40 PAGES AFTERWARDS RAJGJHGFJHGF

Also don't really have a least favorite movie, i don't watch movies that often.

how about you >:D

Title: Just Another Epic Love Poem

Author(s): Parisa Akhbari

Description: Over the past five years, Mitra Esfahani has known two constants: her best friend Bea Ortega and The Book—a dogeared moleskin she and Bea have been filling with the stanzas of an epic, never-ending poem since they were 13. For introverted Mitra, The Book is one of the few places she can open herself completely and where she gets to see all sides of brilliant and ebullient Bea. There, they can share everything—Mitra’s complicated feelings about her absent mother, Bea’s heartache over her most recent breakup—nothing too messy or complicated for The Book. Nothing except the one thing with the power to change their entire the fact that Mitra is helplessly in love with Bea.

The Mini Interview with Parisa Akhbari

by Liz von Klemperer

Parisa Akhbari’s debut young adult novel Just Another Epic Love Poem (Dial Books, 2024) captures the complexity of queer, sapphic friendships that teeter into something more. The never-ending poem co-written by the protagonists is woven throughout the narrative, along text threads. This structure mimics the unique intimacy of adolescence, in which conversations morph and evolve from school to home to sleepovers and back again. Akhbari’s work as a teen therapist shines through, as she deftly delves into the complexities of navigating first relationships and the inevitability of leaving home.

I was excited to speak with Parisa Akhbari via Zoom about how her favorite poets made their way into the pages of her first novel, and about how she wrote the kind of book she wanted to read as a teen.

***

The Rumpus: How did you start writing this? What were the initial seeds of the idea?

Parisa Akhbari: In my day job I work with teens as a therapist, and that means I’m often immersed in the big emotions of adolescence. Over the past few years, as I sat with young people facing experiences of racism and homophobia and isolation, and also witnessed their rights being taken away on a national level, I started to feel that the adult generation had failed young people. I felt this sense of powerlessness about what I had to offer, when young people are up against so much. It made me reflect on what I wanted from the adults around me when I was seventeen or eighteen. And what I wanted was to believe that change was possible: that the circumstances of my life could transform. It would have meant a lot to imagine that someone like me could live a happy, fulfilling life, despite the complexities of their existence or despite the hardships they’re going through. Those are the kinds of mirrors, the kinds of stories I wish I’d had growing up. I wish I’d seen representations of queer, Iranian American or mixed race young people, living lives that are meaningful, complicated, fulfilling. Lives in which they are deeply loved and connected to others. A desire for that kind of story propelled me to write young adult literature.

For Just Another Epic Love Poem in particular, I thought back on the way my best friends and I communicated in high school. We used every channel available to us: texting, talking on the phone for hours, writing notes back and forth in class, leaving letters in each other’s lockers. We found all these ways to connect. It was one nonstop conversation that continually evolved. When you know someone that well, your voices also start to resonate with each other as you pick up each other’s cadences and idiosyncrasies. I wanted to bring that sense of never-ending connection to a story. The two main characters in JAELP, Mitra and Bea, not only share their queer identity and their experience of Catholic school, but they also have this secret poetic language through which they voice their thoughts. Their never-ending poem becomes a framework through which they can express themselves in a way that they can’t anywhere else.

Rumpus: This is a love story—what’s your relationship to love stories, and what motivated you to write a love story?

Akhbari: When I was a teen, I mostly read love stories, but I didn’t see queerness or POC characters represented in those stories. I read a lot of Sarah Dessen books, which I enjoyed, but they centered white and heterosexual characters. In much of the YA I had access to at the time, the protagonist’s focus was a relationship with a guy. Although I wasn’t out in high school, my closest relationships were with other girls. My best friends were girls, and even though I dated guys, I had crushes on girls, and felt the most emotional intimacy—and confusion!—in my relationships with girls. I didn’t see that dynamic explored in literature or on TV. Once I came out, I grappled with some of the nuances of being in queer friendships and relationships. The line between friendship and romance was much blurrier. Sometimes I’d have a relationship with someone, and we would move back and forth across that line. In writing YA, I wanted to explore what transforms in the space between two best friends as they navigate that line together. I think it’s a uniquely queer experience that a lot of folks in the LGBTQ community can relate to. There’s something wonderful and complicated about the fluidity of how you define who you are to one another.

Rumpus: Yes, it really speaks to a specific kind of queer culture. The transition from friendship to relationship and losing your friend in an attempt to build a new romantic relationship.

Akhbari: In the beginning of the novel, Mitra is focused on what she can gain from becoming romantically involved with Bea. She’s thinking about how amazing it would be to finally get to love her best friend in that way. And then she’s confronted with the reality that change and loss are inherent in that shift. Mitra and Bea lose the ability to say “I love you” in the way they did before. They lose some of the easy comfort they shared, because suddenly their interactions become heated and heightened. Mitra has to navigate all these new questions: Can we touch like we did before? Can we talk in the way we used to? It presents a lot of challenges for her.

Rumpus: The format of your book mimics that never-ending, multimedia back and forth. I also love the amount of poetry you include. How did that structure evolve?

Akhbari: Originally, I started writing the book in a traditional structure that alternated prose with snippets of the never-ending poem that they trade back and forth. But I found that structure boxed me in. I was already trying to break out of a typical novel format through the never-ending poem, and it felt constraining to limit myself only to prose for the rest of the story. To shake things up, my editor suggested I think about what’s at the heart of each beat in the story, and then consider the best format in which to tell that beat. It may be that the emotional core of the moment is best expressed in a text message, or a list, or a poem that the main character, Mitra, writes for a school assignment.

For example, in writing about Mitra’s reconnection with her estranged mother, the heart of that moment is Mitra’s response to seeing her mom for the first time in years. She has this moment of acknowledging all the little differences in the way her mom looks, and how she’s both unfamiliar and familiar at the same time. The moment trips Mitra’s memories in a visceral way. Although I could try to capture that moment in prose, I felt poetry would tap into an emotional depth for Mitra that she couldn’t directly face in the prose of her inner monologue. Poetry and art can give people a lens through which to look at the hardest things in their lives. They can examine their monsters through metaphors, poetry, and art in a way they can’t confront directly.

Rumpus: Speaking of poetry, you reference so many poets in this book because your protagonists love poetry. What is your relationship with some of these poets? How did you choose them?

Akhbari: Growing up, I thought poetry was stuffy, old-timey, and inaccessible. The poets I learned about in school were often dead, straight, white guys. They weren’t people I could relate to. It felt like they lived on some other untouchable level. Once I realized that other poets existed who spoke to me and to my experience, and whose art was just as valid, then I felt like I had my way in. That opened the door to poetry for me.

One of those poets was Hafez, whom Mitra calls upon throughout the story. In Iranian culture, Hafez isn’t just a revered poet; he’s a spiritual channel. In the way that a lot of Westerners look to astrology or tarot, Hafez is the guy you go to when you’re like, “What do I do about this situation? Or, What’s ahead for me?” My bibi jaan taught me to ask a question and find an answer in the pages of Hafez’s Divān. The challenge is how to interpret his words. That was fun to play with throughout Just Another Epic Love Poem because Mitra doesn’t have the assistance of her mom anymore to help her interpret. She has to figure out the answers to her big existential questions by herself.

Naomi Shihab Nye’s poem, “Kindness,” became an anchor for me early on in writing this book. She’s one of my favorite poets, in part because I connect to her writing about the Middle East, and also because I find her poetry to be grounded in the senses in a very accessible way. She’s a renowned writer of both adult and children’s poetry. People can disconnect from poetry when they find it too abstract, or unrelatable, or not reflective of their lives. But everything I’ve read of Naomi Shihab Nye’s feels like something that a teen could understand on a gut level, even if they don’t know all of the “rules” of poetic structure.

Rumpus: Is there a part of this book that feels pressing to articulate that I’ve missed?

Akhbari: One of my hopes for readers is that they can see poetry as accessible and relevant to their lives. We absorb a lot of cultural messages about who gets to be a poet, and what poetry looks like. I hope readers who have been pushed to the margins find that poetry is a powerful and concise tool for self-expression. In the same way that people have been reshaping and expanding queerness to create a space for themselves, you can also dismantle the rules and assumptions about poetry and reinvent it to fit your world. You can make it spacious enough to express your experience.

Just Another Epic Love Poem -- Review

What I Liked:

- The writing style was absolutely gorgeous, I was pretty content just reading Akhbari's prose - Diversity in characters in terms of race, religion, sexuality, gender identity, etc. - The relationship between Mitra and Azar as sisters was really beautiful and well developed

What I Didn't Love: - I felt like the novel lacked an overall direction. I was confused about if the main plot was supposed to be focused on Mitra's family life or her relationship with Bea - I felt as if there wasn't enough build up to Mitra and Bea getting together. We could see Mitra's interest in her friend but the reciprocation seemed to come out of nowhere - I thought Bea was a pretty flat character overall - I was confused by the significance of Mitra's college decision. There was a lot of build up to there being conflict, especially with her lying to Bea, and it ultimately went nowhere

Rating:🌟 3/5 🌟

Concluding thoughts: I am admittedly not much into poetry so this may have just not been the book for me. I really loved the familial relationships and prose so I am interested in checking out future publications from Parisa Akhbari:)

That's a very cool ask, Anon. I'm gonna give a few of mine too, for queer books I haven't read yet:

A River of Golden Bones by AK Mulford

The Principle of Moments by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson

The Summer Queen by Rochelle Hassan

Daniel, Deconstructed by James Ramos

The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles by Malka Older

Lore of the Wilds by Analeigh Sbrana

Those Beyond the Wall by Micaiah Johnson

Just Another Epic Love Poem by Parisa Akhbari

The Emperor and the Endless Palace by Justinian Huang

Dear Wendy by Ann Zhao

what are your favorite book covers recently? (you don't have to have liked or even read the book)

ough boy I don't even know how to answer this without listing so so many, so I'm just gonna say a handful that come to mind!

The Curse of Eelgrass Bog - art: James Firnhaber*, des: Kaitlin Yang

*who also did the Every Bird a Prince art, I just realised! I I love the colour/comps and little fantastical elements (like the floating fish) in both of them.

A Tempest of Tea art by Valentina Remenar, des: Aurora Parlagreco - I love the delicate portrait and composition of the elements is nice - kinda unique for the genre while staying within recognisable genre conventions

I love Evangeline Gallagher's covers for Andrew Joseph White's books. the sort of grungy lineart + pastel colours is another unique choice!

Don't Let The Forest In is striking and has some lovely pencil textures, and I mean I always love a good planty cover. art: Jana Heidersdorf, des: Meg Sayre

I love the detail in The Hedgewitch of Foxhall, art by Christin Engelberth (who's done some other beautiful covers recently)

plus some other illustrators who, (while of course it also depends on the designer they're working with), constantly put out bangers: Rovina Cai, Corey Brickley, Tran Nguyen, Victo Ngai
