Some people don't know this about me. I have experienced Arabic Muslim society and its cultures as I have lived in many such countries thanks to my Dad. And I have always felt at home reading books based on this culture, as if I am getting back to my roots despite being an Indian Hindu, *wink*, so when I got an opportunity to read this book, I literally jumped on it.

This book is the third in a series of graphic novels by the author based on a character Huda F with her family of sisters and parents navigating a recent move to a town in the US with more prominent Muslim integration of population, correlating with the cross cultural experiences of new crushes, identities.

This book delves into a new problem Huda F experiences. Her parents are separating, which is quite a taboo subject in the Muslim community, how does she deal with the new changes, fearing the unknown adding in themes of mental health forms the core of the book.

I loved this book from start to finish, I couldn't put it down. I love the fact that the author stays true to the cultural elements which I love already but also makes it fluid enough for Huda to meld into the current generation's lifestyles, which is always a tough subject to talk with oldies, which needs to be brought to focus at the moment.

Rating - 5 stars. Book Recommendation - Hell Yeah.

This book was so good! Tt beautifully handles the topics of divorce and mental health, and how kids react to it. It gives great advice while being heartfelt and hilarious. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good and funny read!

Huda Fahmy has gifted us with another great graphic novel. This third installment in the Huda F series follows our main character as she deals with the aftermath of her parents announcing that they are getting a divorce. She takes a very serious topic and adds a bit of humor to lighten it up. She also tackles the taboo of mental health, showing the anger and grief that many experience when their family breaks apart.

I will definitely be purchasing this one for my students.
Mental Health resources included at the back of the book.

This is the fourth book I've read by Huda Fahmy and I've enjoyed them all. This one was definitely a more serious topic that hit on things that a lot of books don't, which I really appreciated.

The only thing I didn't like was that I didn't know who the characters were. They weren't introduced in any significant way. Clearly they were her sisters, but why was one just in a dotted outline? I wish there had been a "cast of characters" type introduction because it was hard to keep track of who was who.

Always love a Huda F book! They're witty and fun and cozy, but also so insightful and handle heavy topics and the feelings they bring up straight on. This Huda F books addresses divorce and mental health and having sister through it all.

Huda had her junior year plan mapped out and she’s determined to follow it through… until her parents announced their decision to divorce. Soon enough, Huda was spiraling. At the same time, her teenage hormones started to make her interested in boys. Huda was feeling a lot of big emotions and struggled to sort things out.

This isn’t as lighthearted as the previous books in the Huda F series, even though it’s still easy to digest for a topic about grief and loss. Unfortunately the ARC is in grayscale, so my reading experience wasn’t full.

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for granting me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest rating!

In the latest graphic novel from Huda Fahmy, the author recounts a based on real life but fictional version of junior year.

Her comics are entertaining while dealing with serious topics like divorce, generational trauma, and mental health. It lends amusement to helpful discussion of various topics, and I appreciate the link to resources in the end of the book. I also appreciate the several meme references. A very nice touch.

It was also interesting being thrown back into high school, but from entirely different perspectives. For all that makes people different, its fun, or not so fun, but nice that we all deal with similar distresses trying to get out of that place, no matter our background.

I continue to marvel at the ease of Fahmy's dialogue and illustrations to connect to deeply through a book to a character like Huda. The experiences are so universal that she feels like someone to have tea with. The live-out-loud emotions that she expresses, specifically in this story, can be used for SEL or as a mirror or window for any kid reading the book (and even adults!)

In this book, Huda's parents make a startling confession which upends Huda and her junior year where her grades are tanking a bit, she's on the outs with a friend, and driving lessons are bumping along. She'll have to get things in check if she wants to survive the year and look forward to senior year.

I can't wait to see the full color of the finished product as I'm reading an advanced copy via Netgalley. I'm glad to have the experience of another Huda book-- keep 'em coming!

***ARC by NetGalley***

Huda is in her third (junior) year of high school and she has it all planned out. And then her parents announce they are divorcing, which sends her into a tailspin.

This novel is beautifully drawn and the story highly relatable for anyone whose parents have divorced. I would recommend this to any young person who is struggling with a similar situation. Although the main character is Muslim, that does not make it any less relatable to a reader who may not be. If anything, they will learn more about that culture. Think two for the price of one.

SO. GOOD.

Dare I say Huda's best book yet!! Alongside her usual wonderful humor, this book tackles some strong topics for the Muslim community, mainly divorce and mental health. Some of the lines in this book made me cry my eyes out and I can't emphasize how much you should read it!

Thank you so much to Huda Famey and PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers Group for providing me with the Arc of this book.

4.25/5 Stars

Having read the first book in this series, I loved seeing the evolution of Huda as a character and how see copes through the challenges she faces in this new book. I love the art style and storytelling in this book. I found Huda's struggles with mental health and junior year to be relatable and realistic. I would highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a funny but emotional story.

This was such a fun graphic novel! It’s my favorite of the series so far—I loved seeing a new perspective for Huda and watching her grow the most in this book. The art is cute and approachable, making it an easy recommendation for young readers. There are plenty of laughs, especially in this installment, and overall, it’s just a great time. I would absolutely pass this series on to a young person heading into or starting high school.

Thank you #netgalley for the ARC. I have not read any Huda books before this, and I really like how the story is told. Ms. Fahmy captures "all the feels" of adolescence, divorce, future plans, and friendships/relationships. I enjoyed watching Huda and her family navigate the situation they were in, and I had an emotional reaction to parts of the book. I would love to add this to our book club!

Terrific graphic novel about a young Muslim teen, Huda, who is coping with her parents divorcing and the pressures of being a junior in high school. Huda discovers the importance of mental health and therapy.

This was funny and insightful! The art was awesome and it was so fantastic!!!!! I follow this creator on socials and love their comics

I am a HUGE fan of Huda Fahmy's books, so I was of course absolutely thrilled that she came out with a third book in the series. It's just as funny and heartwarming as the others are. I sincerely hope she releases another!

Loved this next title in Huda’s continuing adventures. The humor is always on point and Huda’s experiences are relatable to young readers. Highly recommend!

*Received an e-arc from netgalley for an honest review*

I love Huda's books. I think they do a fantastic job of sharing what it is actually like to be a teenager and to have so many emotions. I also appreciate how she shares her Muslim and Arab culture and family dynamics. This book talk about divorce and mental health AND it's funny, not an easy thing to do. I think it is a great read for anyone struggling with these issues. I also really appreciate the resources she provided at the back of the book. The only improvement I could see for this book is if it provided a glossary for Muslim and Arabic terms so that those not familiar or from this culture could have an easy reference.
