Hilarious and heartbreaking, this unforgettable debut introduces a brilliant new voice in contemporary YA.ĭarius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and he knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. ![]() ![]() Today, thanks to Penguin Teen and the blog tour, I’ll be able to share with you my thoughts on the book and a special guest post from the author themselves.Īmazon – Barnes & Noble – Book Depository – Goodreads – Indieboundĭarius doesn’t think he’ll ever be enough, in America or in Iran. The tea and the nerdiness might be what got me to read the first few pages, but the quickly realized richness of Adib Khorran’s debut novel is what got me to stay. It’s about Darius’s levels of identity, how he navigates life as this person with so many different facets in a world that would rather see people shoved into single term boxes. There’s a lot more to it, though, multiple layers to the story. This geeky kid who would rather talk about Middle-earth and the way to brew a proper cuppa is my sort of person. I wanted to read Darius T he Great Is Not Okay because, on the surface, it’s about someone who loves tea. ![]()
