⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Story of 4 teen daughters of a wealthy Iranian American entrepreneur who were supposed to star in a Kardashian style reality show that was delayed due to COVID. I was initially put off by a very silly opening where one daughter was trying to change her birthday in order to be a different astrological sign. It tended a little vapid, but it eventually got more substantive and interesting.

I wanted the satire sharper and the humor funnier in this new novel about Iranian-American food heiresses who want to be the next Kardashians but the pandemic gets in the way. Great cover though.

I was so hopeful that I‘d enjoy this but it was mid AF. Really disappointing, especially since reality TV usually works for me as a trope.

The four Persian-American Milani sisters have grown up wealthy from their Dad‘s fast food fortune. Right before the pandemic, they start taping a Kardashian-esque reality show, but their different reactions to the pandemic threaten to tear the family and show apart (in a VERY low-key way). 🙄

BarbaraBB That‘s too bad. The premise sounds good! 8mo

Humor and cultural elements are reflected in this fictionalized satire of a group of wealthy Iranian-American daughters trying to develop their own reality TV show Kardashian style. As the girls search for superficial pursuits like social media influencing, health lifestyle guru, and fame and fortune, family secrets and dysfunctional drama bubble up to the service crazy, rich Middle Eastern style.
