Darius the Great Is Not Okay by Adib Khorram
4.0
“Some friends just have that effect on you.”
I really enjoyed this. It had just the right amount of humor to balance out the sensitive nature of the topics involved. I cried during the last 15% because I heavily related to some of the familial struggles that Darius faced as well as his experience with depression. I greatly appreciated how the book addressed common misconceptions of it. This is such a powerful story for young adults because it explores so many poignant topics in a conceivable and engaging way. All in all, a beautiful, emotional, and impactful read.
