Overview
Winner of the William C. Morris Debut Award
āHeartfelt, tender, and so utterly real. Iād live in this book forever if I could.ā
āBecky Albertalli, award-winningĀ 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. Heās a Fractional Persianāhalf, his momās sideāand his first-ever trip to Iran is about to change his life.
Ā
Darius has never really fit in at home, and heās sure things are going to be the same in Iran. His clinical depression doesnāt 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, theyāre spending their days together, playing soccer, eating faludeh, and talking for hours on a secret rooftop overlooking the cityās skyline. Sohrab calls him Darioushāthe original Persian version of his nameāand Darius has never felt more like himself than he does now that heās Darioush to Sohrab.
Ā
Adib Khorramās brilliant debut is for anyone whoās ever felt not good enoughāthen met a friend who makes them feel so much better than okay.
