He's her complete opposite in every way. Popular and confident, Magnus seems to have his life figured out, while Soraya has got to twenty-one and has somehow never been kissed. Soraya's mother Neda also knows what it's like to feel mismatched. She left Iran with her husband in the wake of revolution, and the aftershocks of that decision are still being felt decades later.
