Darius the Great is Not Okay was more than okay! It was poignant and heartfelt and educational and insightful.
I loved "being" in Iran with Darius and learning about the culture and history of the area right along with him.
This book was heavy on relationships, and not all were good or easy. Things between Darius and his dad were kind of iffy, but I liked how they bonded over their love of Star Trek.
His relationship with his grandmother was so precious, but it was different with his grandfather. Darius struggled a little with bonding with people, due to his battle with depression, but I loved the friendship he developed with Sohrab.
I really enjoyed this story, a lot more than I expected. I'm looking forward to listening to the follow-up, Darius the Great Deserves Better. I think Darius is such a compelling character, he stole my heart a little.
