Darius struggles to fit in at home and abroad. When a first trip to Iran forces him to confront family, language, and the weight of clinical depression, surprising connections begin to shift how he sees himself.

In Iran he meets Sohrab, a neighbor who calls him Darioush and opens a quiet world of soccer, shared rooftops, and slow friendship. Those moments help Darius move from isolation toward a truer sense of self.

Blending humor and emotional honesty, the novel explores identity, cross-cultural belonging, and mental health with clarity and warmth. Recommended for readers who appreciate intimate, character-driven YA fiction.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
