I received a copy of this book on netgalley in exchange for my honest review. This book was delightful to read. I loved the concept, the format, and the writing. This story is told out of order from several perspectives but mostly this is the story of Amir, an 18 year Iranian boy trying to reconcile his family, his culture, to his identity as a gay man. Such a rich and compelling story about being true to oneself and the power that is in love and in family. When Amir is being threatened with being forced out of the closet he runs and blindly chooses to go to Rome. This book is him explaining what happened on his journey to airport security after he and his family are detained for arguing on the plane. This book was beautiful, thought provoking, and generally an excellent adventure.
