Darius the Great Is Not Okay
by Adib Khorram
This is a YA that has been sitting in a my TBR pile for a while, so I finally got around to reading it. It's about a mixed-race half Persian boy who comes back to Iran with his family to visit his dying grandfather. The book is really well written, and it's only fault is it tries a little to hard to be relevant. Darius has trouble fitting in in either culture and has to deal with hypercritical male family members, so he suffers from depression. And then he is told he just needs to try harder to fit in -- which isn't helpful at all. If you are looking for a book to buy a teenager for a gift, this book would be a good choice.
