Darius The Great Deserves Better by Adib Khorram

A warm, candid YA novel following a queer Iranian-American teen who, still wrestling with depression and past wounds, navigates shifting friendships, family tensions, and his own sense of identity; through painful confrontations, awkward humor, and small acts of courage he begins to set boundaries, seek help, and learn to ask for — and expect — better treatment from himself and the people around him.
