    Creator

    Nazemian, Abdi

    Abstract

    The Authentics is a fresh, funny, and insightful novel about culture, love, and family — the kind we are born into and the ones we create. Daria Esfandyar is Iranian-American and proud of her heritage, unlike some of the "Nose Jobs" in the clique led by her former best friend, Heidi Javadi. Daria and her friends call themselves the Authentics, because they pride themselves on always keeping it real. But in the course of researching a school project, Daria learns something shocking about her past, which launches her on a journey of self-discovery.

Matt wears a black suit every day. No, not because his mom died—although she did, and it sucks.
