I like come-of-age stories, and "Darius the Great is not Okay" really captivated me. I enjoyed learning about Darius Kellner and his adventures in the sense of belonging - to a place, to a country, to the world. He goes on a trip with his family to Iran, and in the middle of it ends up learning a lot about family, friendship, belonging, and being yourself - in a sense, it was a journey of self-discovery more than a journey to get to know his grandparents or his mother's home country. Nothing major happens in the book - which doesn't stop it from being a nice read to get to know more about yourself and rethink how you see yourself and others. There's also some fun parts, and geek parts, that will make you learn more about this interesting character.
