A review by biblioemily
The Authentics by Abdi Nazemian

3.0

The plot seemed to move too quickly without being fully fleshed out. It's a shorter book (280 pages), which will appeal to some readers. The insta-love is a bit much for my tastes (and this generally doesn't bother me too much, b/c it is part of being a teenager). I would recommend it for high school, and 8th graders, too. Maybe some 7th graders, though there is a very casual treatment of sex that could send the wrong message to younger teens.
