Darius the Great Deserves Better

This book. Wow. The conversations that it can open up.

Okay. I did not like the romance part of this book. I never enjoy reading romance novels; that's just me. However, the book uses the romance and discomfort as just part of the overall story. The bigger story is about relationships. We have relationships with those we love/like, our friends, our family, our extended family, etc. Each of these relationships can and will be both messy and beautiful. We can make them better by communicating; when we are not saying what we are thinking or telling people when they hurt us or help us, both members of a relationship fall into traps of assumption, imagination, and expectation.

The story shows, in a tender way, how much better relationships can be when we take the time and courage to be honest and open. Good book.
