Darius the Great Deserves Better by Adib Khorram
5.0
What a beautiful book, I love how Adib writes his characters, so real, so full of heart. You definitely feel for them, which is a great thing as this book is real character driven not plot driven, it is really about a boy trying to navigate life, with all the insecurities that come with been a teenager, trying to be all these things that we think at that age we are supposed to be. Trying to be like, wanting to be love.
And Darius is such a sweet boy, always there for his family, his sister, trying not to hurt anyone’s feelings, but maybe doing it anyway because he is human after all.
I did not cry as much with one as with the first one but still a lot of strings were pulled and feeling were had and laughter was done out loud.
I really loved the narration too, as I finally could hear how every name was correctly said.
