This book brought me to tears. It broke me down and made me feel raw. While reading this book, instead of seeing Darius as Darius, I saw myself as him. I understood everything because I've been there before. I've visited my family that I had only ever known through a screen. I couldn't speak their language and I barely connected with them. I've felt judged by one of the two people who were supposed to love and except me the most. I've been so lost and alone, but then I felt whole once I met someone who brought out the best part of me. Reading this book was like looking in a mirror. After years of hating my reflection, for once I let myself smile as I stared a little bit longer. I had seen this book many times at my local Barnes and Noble. I grabbed it a few times, but I always ended up putting it back. I'm thankful that the next time I saw it I decided to buy it. This book hasn't changed me, but it's helped realized that I don't need to change.
