Five stars!”
    Julie Murphy & Sierra Simone, bestselling co-authors of A Merry Little Meet Cute, on I'll Have What He's Having

About the Author

ADIB KHORRAM is the queer Iranian author of I’ll Have What He’s Having, which was an instant USA Today bestseller. He is also the author of the young adult novel Darius the Great Is Not Okay, which earned the William C. Morris Debut Award, the Asian/Pacific American Award for Young Adult Literature, and a Boston Globe–Horn Book Honor, and was named one of Time magazine’s 100 Best YA Novels of All Time; his other young adult novels Darius the Great Deserves Better, Kiss & Tell, and The Breakup Lists as well as the picture books Seven Special Somethings: A Nowruz Story and Bijan Always Wins, have garnered critical acclaim, starred reviews, and bestsellers.

He grew up in Kansas City—the Milan of the Midwest—but he’d rather be in the real thing, sitting on a patio, enjoying an aperitivo.
