"From the critically-acclaimed novelist and essayist, the hilarious, heartwarming story of the Milanis-an Iranian American family who live in wealth and whose recent foray into the spotlight will force them to divulge long-kept family secrets and bring them closer than ever before. When Ali and Homa Milani first immigrated from Iran to the United States, they struggled to make ends meet. Now multimillionaires and self-proclaimed American Fast-Food Moguls, they've established a name for themselves: they're the Milanis, derisively dubbed "Persian Royalty" by prominent Los Angeles gossip rags. On the precipice of getting their own reality TV show, they have it all-a mansion in downtown L.A., a lucrative business, and four spirited daughters. The shy Violet, whose budding modeling career will force her to reckon with her wicked sweet tooth; the outspoken and fiery Roxanna whose manicure is rivalled only by her perfectly curated Instagram; the reclusive Mina who spends most of her days on online fandom forums; the youngest, Haylee, who finds herself falling down internet conspiracy rabbit holes. Each of the Milanis has something to hide, and in front of the glaring lights of a TV camera, the truth threatens to come out at the powerful climax. What will happen when the world discovers the secrets they've been keeping? Sharply observed and compulsively readable, Tehrangeles is a dramatic family saga about the difficulty of healing dysfunctional familial relationships and the ever-present struggle to find acceptance of one's true self"--
