This is my favorite installment to date in the Huda F series. Huda’s emotional growth takes a massive leap in this installment, as a result of both age and circumstance. No matter what age you are, your parents divorcing affects you. Add this to all the normal teenage woes and the added pressures of being a Muslim female and you’ve got one heck of a stressful situation. Everyone in the book learns the valuable lesson of stepping back to gain perspective when nothing seems to go your way.
This will definitely be on my list of graphic novels to recommend this year!
Thanks to Penguin Group and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review.
This book reached out to me despite the generational and cultural gap that exists between me & Huda. This is a book that will help so many be seen. Huda's relationship with her family, religion, culture, & even herself is all part of the insightful and, for me, educational blend that turns a simple growing up story into a humorous learning tale that bridges so may divides. Huda is the imperfect, typical, & totally identifiable teen whose whole life at first is all about her and achieving the hallmarks of growing up, but when her parents throw a curveball into this world by sharing that they are divorcing, everything is suddenly in question as Huda needs to figure out what is happening and make sense of how she is responding to those changes. Now, along with all typical teen angst, she is questioning and feeling the added pressure of what will my life look like when ___
This is a perfect gift for anyone at any age, showing how we are all similar in our feelings and experiences even if we express them differently. A wonderful conversation starter to highlight an appreciation for others & one that highlights teen Mental Health & Wellness!
