I loved this book so much. I learned quite a few things. One being the fact that the word Aryan was taken from old Sandskrit and it first meant a group of honorable or noble people in ancient India and Iran.

I hate that he was called so many slurs in school. That shit breaks my heart, it’s not okay. Just because someone is a different race from you doesn’t mean they are bad. You have to educate yourself. 

I also suffer from depression so his thoughts and whatnot definitely hit home for me. Be ready to cry.
