Darius the Great Is Not Okay

Darius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and he knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. He`s a Fractional Persian - half, his mum`s side - and his first-ever trip to Iran is about to change his life. Darius has never really fit in at home, and he`s sure things are going to be the same in Iran. His clinical depression doesn`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, they`re spending their days together, playing soccer, eating faludeh, and talking for hours on a secret rooftop overlooking the city`s skyline. Sohrab calls him Darioush - the original Persian version of his name - and Darius has never felt more like himself than he does now that he`s Darioush to Sohrab.
