Darius doesn't think he'll ever be enough, in America or in Iran.
Hilarious and heartbreaking, this unforgettable debut introduces a
brilliant new voice in contemporary YA. Winner of the William C.
Morris Debut Award "Heartfelt, tender, and so utterly real. I'd
live in this book forever if I could." -Becky Albertalli,
award-winning author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda Darius
Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and he knows more about
Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. He's a Fractional
Persian-half, his mom's side-and his first-ever trip to Iran is
about to change his life. Darius has never really fit in at home,
and he's sure things are going to be the same in Iran. His clinical
depression doesn't exactly help matters, and trying to explain his
medication to his grandparents only makes things harder. Then
Darius meets Sohrab, the boy next door, and everything changes.
Soon, they're spending their days together, playing soccer, eating
faludeh, and talking for hours on a secret rooftop overlooking the
city's skyline. Sohrab calls him Darioush-the original Persian
version of his name-and Darius has never felt more like himself
than he does now that he's Darioush to Sohrab. Adib Khorram's
brilliant debut is for anyone who's ever felt not good enough-then
met a friend who makes them feel so much better than okay.
