"i said it would be good and it was"

"In a Nutshell: Good but not outstanding. A decent one-time-read graphic novel.

In this collection, Huda Fahmy speaks of her experiences as a Muslim-American woman. The mood across the comics ranges from poignant to funny. That said, only a couple of the comic strips made me laugh out loud. The ‘Muslims in Movies� series was amusing. But as many of the pages dealt with the non-Muslim American’s response to hijabi Muslims, the experience gets repetitive after a while.

I have wanted to read this graphic novel ever since I read Huda Fahmy’s �That Can Be Arranged: A Muslim Love Story�. But with high expectations comes disappointment too. This book didn’t create the same impact by far. Better you try TCBA as the author’s personal experiences come out much better in that title. You will also get to know the characters better.

The illustrations are in standard Huda Fahmy style � not elaborate but more like doodles. Nothing fancy, but it works for the content.

3 stars.

Here’s my review for TCBA if you are interested: /review/show...
