This book is so perfect. Perfect to finish reading it on my birthday with a smile plastered on my face. I need more heartwarming stories like this.
Thank you so much, Cynthia for writing this heartwarming story of Elsie (and Joan; of course!). I must say, I love the ending. Nothing more to say about their dynamic. You are brilliant!

Trying to put myself in his shoes and I feel sad and sorry for him. But, this book is beautifully written. I could understand Liam's grief. I wanna hug him so much!

The theme Darius with his struggles with his own big family, himself and his mental health... sometimes relate to me. I love the way he wanted to change what he can; to be a positive minded one; and thinks... it's okay not to be okay sometimes.
This book also so informative about Iranian cultures. Thank you, Adib Khorram! I love books that so informative like this! I learned so many Iranian cultures too from this book. I also love Darius and his friendship (including the ups and downs) with Sohrab.
Can't wait to continue with Darius The Great Deserves Better. Solid 5⭐!
