This was not a guaranteed 5⭐️ book. Not until about the last 30%, when I realized the characters had wormed their way into my heart. I want to give Darius, and his parents, and his grandparents, and his sister, and Sohrab, and even Chip a big ol hug. They all need it.

The best parts were dariuses character growth, the immersion into Iran's culture and the family dynamics. Looking forward to an evolution of his relationship with Sohrab!

This book was so cute! And as a ‘half-n-half’ myself I related so much to Darius and his time visiting “home”. 

This book made me feel feelings 🥰
Definitely one to reread & recommend!

“Your place was empty before. But this is your family. You belong here.”

Aaaahhh.  
I love the Bahrami family. Everyone is so sweet and loving and supportive. I love Darious. I thought this would be a romance novel but it’s really just the story of a boy navigating his identity and his depression. He’s so sweet and creative, and such a good brother 🥺.
