Darius the Great Deserves Better
by Adib Khorram
This book is just beautiful.
It's okay to not be happy in the things that you thought you'd love. It's okay to not be happy with the relationships you thought you'd enjoy.
Sometimes we sabotage ourselves from enjoying life because we don't think it's okay to change our minds. Sometimes we sabotage ourselves through our own anxieties.
These are powerful messages.
And then there are so many lovely diverse characters in this book. Often diversity can feel like tokenism. Not in this book. All of the Bahai'i and Zoroastrian characters, the queer and trans characters, the multi-cultural characters... everyone has a purpose in the story for being exactly as they are. Everyone feels so completely natural as they are written and nothing feels forced.
This book is beautiful and it will make you feel beautiful too.
