Winner of the William C. Morris Debut Award

"Heartfelt, tender, and so utterly real. I'd live in this book forever if I could."
--Becky Albertalli, award-winning author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

Darius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and he knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. He's a Fractional Persian--half, his mom's side--and his first-ever trip to Iran is about to change his life.

Darius has never really fit in at home, and he's sure things are going to be the same in Iran. His clinical depression doesn't exactly help matters, and trying to explain his medication to his grandparents only makes things harder. Then Darius meets Sohrab, the boy next door, and everything changes. Soon, they're spending their days together, playing soccer, eating faludeh, and talking for hours on a secret rooftop overlooking the city's skyline. Sohrab calls him Darioush--the original Persian version of his name--and Darius has never felt more like himself than he does now that he's Darioush to Sohrab.

Adib Khorram's brilliant debut is for anyone who's ever felt not good enough--then met a friend who makes them feel so much better than okay.

Best vanilla body wash I've seen
Proper vanilla scent with a kick, without the vomit inducing synthetic aftertaste

Soap bar
Style: Vintage Suede, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
A solid exfoliating bar that gives you a deep clean without being too harsh. The grit is just enough to remove dead skin and smooth things out, while the Vintage Suede scent adds a warm, slightly masculine fragrance that feels elevated but not overpowering. It lathers well and leaves your skin feeling clean—not stripped. ✔ Gentle exfoliation (not too rough) ✔ Warm, clean scent ✔ Good lather + smooth finish ❗ Can feel slightly drying on very sensitive skin ❗ Scent doesn’t last super long 👉 Bottom line: A great everyday exfoliating soap perfect if you want smoother skin and a clean, subtle scent without anything too harsh.

Another great product from Cremo!
Style: Vintage Suede, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I find myself buying from this brand frequently. It started with the body wash, then a shaving razor and now this product. Everything i buy from Cremo is absolutely miles ahead of national brands. When I saw this ant it was available in Vintage Suede scent, I had to buy it. Again, I was blown away by the quality of this product. It provides a rich, luxurious lather that cleans all of your troubles away. It's smooth and feels good. This has changed my morning shower into Shower 2.0. I also love that this is a minority owned business. I know that when I buy from them, the money goes to support real people, not some corporate fat-cat. Anyway, every Cremo product I have tried so far has been nothing short of amazing, and this is no exception. I will continue looking for more of their products I dont know about and trying those as well. Thanks Cremo! You knocked it off of the reservation again with this product!

Scrubby
Style: Italian Bergamot, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I love that the pieces in it feel almost like it's exfoliating. It lathers well, and my skin feels clean after. The smell doesn't cling or feel cheap, it's a well rounded shuttle fragrance. Although my skin loves it, my daughter says her skin gets aittle dried out but she puts lotion in and it's fine. I have been buying this for months now, and encourage you to give this a try. Would also make a great addition to a gift basket.
