Darius the Great Is Not Okay

Darius the Great Is Not Okay

Darius doesn't think he'll ever be enough, in America or in Iran. Hilarious and heartbreaking, this unforgettable debut introduces a brilliant new voice in contemporary YA.

Winner of the William C. Morris Debut Award

â€œHeartfelt, tender, and so utterly real. Iâ€™d live in this book forever if I could.â€
â€”Becky Albertalli, award-winningÂ author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

Darius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and he knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. Heâ€™s a Fractional Persianâ€”half, his momâ€™s sideâ€”and his first-ever trip to Iran is about to change his life.
Â
Darius has never really fit in at home, and heâ€™s sure things are going to be the same in Iran. His clinical depression doesnâ€™t exactly help matters, and trying to explain his medication to his grandparents only makes things harder. Then Darius meets Sohrab, the boy next door, and everything changes. Soon, theyâ€™re spending their days together, playing soccer, eating faludeh, and talking for hours on a secret rooftop overlooking the cityâ€™s skyline. Sohrab calls him Darioushâ€”the original Persian version of his nameâ€”and Darius has never felt more like himself than he does now that heâ€™s Darioush to Sohrab.
Â
Adib Khorramâ€™s brilliant debut is for anyone whoâ€™s ever felt not good enoughâ€”then met a friend who makes them feel so much better than okay.
