I read this book in one sitting. I loved every word.
It's thoughtful, heartfelt, and it gives a voice to an often ignored and misunderstood segment of the population.
Darius is sweet and lost and I definitely connected with him despite the fact that we have nothing in common. His troubles and worries are universal; from not knowing who you are when you're different from those around you, to feeling like a stranger when surrounded by family, to slowly finding your place in the world, there are just so many wonderful (sad and ecstatic) things to find. You get to experience everything as intensely as Darius.
All the while, getting a peak at a culture that is beautifully unique and often misunderstood.
This is a book that should be shared and enjoyed by people of all ages, not just young adults. I highly recommend it.
