This book actually changed my way of thinking and perceptions. The characters in this book, the way they are potrayed, it felt awesome. All of the characters are not loveable.
Darius has the best parents in the whole world. They are very expressive towards Darius and his little sister, Laleh. Especially Darius's dad, he is very affectionate. He kisses Darius, hugs him.
And also Darius's mamou and babou, they are the best. Actually, I really missed them in this book. Yes there were mentions of them. They face times with Mamou weekly. And yeah, Also Sohrab too.
And Chip is Darius's friend now.
As usual, Trent is the most Hateable character in this book. OMG! He is an asshole... Literally. He bullies Daruis, calling names, having homophobic comments right in his face. I really wanted to beat the shit out of him.
There were sad moments too.. The most important one was when,Babou died. I really cried and wept hard. The way Darius was remembering his Babou and also his mom and Laleh. And the second one was when Landon and Darius broke up. I didn't cry. But I was sad. There should have been more communication with them. There should have been more understanding. Landon made it clear, that sex is important to him, but he should understand that he can't force Daruis into sex. That's not how it works. There should have been a proper talk about it.
There were so many words that felt like a quote.
Daruis always has self doubt and overthinking because of his depression. And the way him and his father share it, was a great thing to read. And mom sharing her worries. But overall, it was a great ride.
I'm glad that I read this book. And yeah, you should read the first book called "Daruis the great is not okay", to understand this book and characters more.
