Huda Fahmy

From the creator of Yes, I'm Hot In This, this cheeky, hilarious, and honest graphic novel asks the question everyone has to figure out for themselves: Who are you? Huda and her family just moved to Dearborn, Michigan, a small town with a big Muslim population. In her old town, Huda knew exactly who she was: She was the hijabi girl. But in Dearborn, everyone is the hijabi girl. Huda is lost in a sea of hijabis, and she can't rely on her hijab to define her anymore. She has to define herself. So she tries on a bunch of cliques, but she isn't a hijabi fashionista or a hijabi athlete or a hijabi gamer. She's not the one who knows everything about her religion or the one all the guys like. She's miscellaneous, which makes her feel like no one at all. Until she realizes that it'll take finding out who she isn't to figure out who she is.

In tone and theme, Huda's awkwardness in her new school reminds me of the Babymouse: Tales from the Locker series by Jennifer L Holm and Matthew Holm. With her many sisters, including the amusingly invisible one, I was reminded of the Friends graphic novel series by Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham (Illustrator).

This book was truly remarkable. It was a life lesson in itself this graphic novel was so relatable because I am a female muslim teenager living in Canada (even though the main character lived in the America. Canada and the US are very similar in ways of oppression). There were so many jokes that only muslims would understand and I laughed at them so hard. This novel not only made jokes but talked about real topics revolving around oppression, making friends, living in a western country and many more.This book made me wanna be somebody that can be whoever they want to be. I loved all the characters even the racist ones because they're the ones who show us what happens in everyday life of the oppressed party. I loved the mom in the book. Anyways I truly enjoyed this novel and thank you for listening to my opinions.

This teen coming-of-age graphic novel is equal parts hilarious and honest. It raises the question "who are you?" and leads you through Huda's autobiography full of challenges when she was entering high school. Huda is completely relatable and the comic artwork is wonderfully done. This story depicts the realities of growing up a Muslim American while still trying to figure out how to find oneself. It takes Huda figuring out who she isn't to figure out who she truly is.

From dealing with microaggressions and racism from teachers and classmates to other relatable scenes that will make you feel seen and represented, you'll be both entertained and empathetic by the end. It's quirky in all the best ways and has me excited to wait for Huda's future work! Perfect for teens but also a great read for all ages, do yourself a favor and pick up this book when it releases on November 23rd!

(Thank you to Penguin Random House for the printed ARC! This has no influence on my review and all thoughts are my honest opinion!)

Five million stars please! A truly excellent book. The sometimes subtle sometimes extreme Islamophobia and Xenophobia in the book cut my heart out exactly like on page 161. But Huda F* is beautiful and her stories have my heart always. Reading this one after “That Can Be Arranged” made me smile to think how much Huda has grown and found herself over the years. 
*Huda F as in the character. While the books may be inspired by the author, I don’t proclaim to know or speak on behalf of the author and her experiences ♥️!
