this book really hit hard in the best way. although i'm not Persian, so much of darius' culture presented throughout the novel really reflected my own. darius' experience in visiting his home country and wanting to connect more with his culture is something that really resonated with me, as did the discussion around having mental health issues in a non-white family. 

overall, this was a great read that really connected with me, and i even almost teared up at points.
