Darius the Great Deserves Better by Adib Khorram

3.0

I wanted to like this book more than I did. I really liked the first book, Darius the Great is Not Okay, but this one just didn't do it for me. I still enjoyed the experience of reading it, don't get me wrong. It's funny and poignant at times, has some great Star Trek references, and is awkward in so many horrifyingly great ways.

I think that this could definitely be someone's most important read of the year, though. It's a teen coming-of-age (specifically gay teen coming-of-age) story which I can see myself recommending to people, but not applying much to my own way past teen years self.

Fun, though!
