Kirkus Reviews calls A Hundred Other Girls "a refreshing take on the classic media-insider-insider novel, championing the value of passion and thoughtfulness over career." CBS Studios and Uzo Aduba's Meynon Media are adapting the novel for television.

Iman’s sophomore novel, The Most Famous Girl In The World, a campy, scathing indictment of modern celebrity and a thrilling rollercoaster ride of unhinged hijinks, was published in fall 2024. It was named Harper’s Bazaar’s September Book Club Pick, as well as one of the best books of the fall by Bustle, Cosmopolitan, Katie Couric, The Knot, Author Link, Canadian Living, and more. Booklist calls The Most Famous Girl In The World “a propulsive satire that will be catnip for fans of true-crime scammer stories, but also provides a cutting commentary on society’s fascination with fame and social media.”
