Huda Fahmy has another excellent graphic novel for her many fans to enjoy -- though this time Huda is facing down some big changes. She has some extensive plans for how she'll have the best & most productive junior year possible... and then they all fall apart when her parents tell her they're getting a divorce.

Huda's understandably upset, and she spends a lot of the book navigating her feelings even it takes her a long while to acknowledge them. Her sisters all react in different ways, too, something it takes Huda a while to realize. I appreciate that this chapter of Huda's story was a difficult one to capture, and that the author was still able to make me laugh out loud throughout the book. Including resources on mental health, stigmas around therapy, & the author's note detailing her own difficulties with her parents' divorce and her mental health ground the book more, too, and hopefully will be a good resource for teens.

Yet again, Huda Fahmy has written a poignant yet hilarious graphic novel. The simple art style can take some getting used to, but it helps to let the story shine through. Like Fahmy's other graphic novels, Huda F Wants To Know? is funny, relatable, and full of heart. As soon as my e-ARC request was approved, I devoured this in one sitting. In this graphic novel, the protagonist Huda is faced with some of the worst challenges a teen can face: first crushes, college entrance exams and scholarships, divorce of parents, and strong emotions. I wish I had this graphic novel as a teen whose parents got divorced my senior year of high school, as it really beautifully covers a wide range of negative emotions that can be experienced when a family unit breaks up in this way, even if the parents are amicable. Mental health is a huge center point, with Huda and her sisters experiencing strong emotions and Huda learning how to handle her emotions in a healthy manner after she hurts the people she loves. Huda also learns to trust her family and grows closer to her mom. This is an easy 5-star read, as it's extremely accessible to teens and very healing to read as an adult. I really hope Huda continues this series, as it's an absolute must for any teen reader.

Huda F is back for her junior year and ready for everything… at least until her parents announce they’re getting a divorce.
Huda’s experience going through a parents divorce in a religious community that looks down on it hit hard and while I didn’t grow up Muslim, it definitely reminded me of my own eighth grade self dealing with the same.
In between all the hard bits, I loved seeing Huda’s humor still shine through and I do love her artist style. I will definitely recommend this to any of our teen readers

The Huda F series is hilarious and heartfelt! I'll keep reading these as long as the author is releasing them.

I love that these stories are inspired by true events but aren't entirely autobiographical. It allows the author to be honest and raw with the subject matter, but she isn't tied to the endings in real life. She can write a happier ending or even a sadder one to make a point.

The divorce storyline in this one shocked me (it's probably in the blurb, but as I said, I love this series so I didn't feel the need to read that), and Huda's anger and subsequent self-sabotage was really relatable. But the author approaches this topic with a humor that I found endearing and hopeful. I also loved the mental health representation and the Author's Note at the end. Mental health representation is super important for teens (and, if we're being honest, for everyone) and I appreciate the care the author took with it, the vulnerability she showed by sharing her own struggles, and the resources she provided.

I'm sad I've already read this because now I will need to wait for book 4 (please let there be a book 4!).

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoy every book Huda Fahmy has written! This graphic novel follows Huda during a time when many things are changing in her life. She’s in her senior year of high school and she’s applying to colleges. She’s also having to deal with her parents getting divorced. It’s a lot to navigate, and she’s struggling. She learns about how mental health and grief can be complicated when it comes to situations such as parents divorce and other life changes. This book does a great job showing how Huda tries her best to work through her grief while also still growing as a person. I also love how the author included mental health resources at the end. Once again, Fahmy has done an excellent job of creating an entertaining graphic novel!

"Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC. I’ve been familiar with Huda Fahmy’s work for a bit since I saw some of her comics on Instagram a few years back. I’m so excited to have been given the chance to review this entry early. Fahmy tackles heavier topics in this entry such as mental health, divorce, and societal expectations but still uses the same clever humor and heart to convey these topics. She is able to keep the art flowing with jokes and humor while still tackling difficult topics. It’s a great read and I would encourage any of her works to be added to your TBR"

As the third book in the Huda series, this graphic novel follows the title character as she navigates her junior year of high school. Right off the bat, the year does not start how Huda plans, and yet, she continues to persevere in lovable Huda fashion as her life seemingly falls apart around her.

This series continues to get better and better! Fahmy's ability to cover serious topics such as divorce and mental health while using humor is impressive, and I often find myself laughing out loud despite the serious moments. Huda's inner monologue is so relatable, and I appreciate that this allows young adults to easily access her story. And, as always, the contrast between Huda and her sisters gives such a range of emotion and response to the issues at hand.

Overall, this is 5 stars for me in all categories! Thank you Dial Books and NetGalley for the ARC!

I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

Huda is excited to begin her junior year of high school, but she learns that her parents are getting divorced. This sets off a chain reaction of unfortunate events that she must navigate. This was a very well-written graphic novel from an Islamic voice that touched on disappointment, mental health, and young love.

The political easter egg that shows up is refreshing and bold on the part of the author in this climate. Good for you Huda!!

This is my first time reading from this author, and I honestly enjoyed it. I think my niece would love it, and I can't wait to purchase a copy for her.


Perfect for the young reader in your life.

Thank you to Netgalley, Penguin Group, Penguin Young Readers Group | Dial Books, and Huda Fahmy for the ARC of the graphic novel Huda F Wants to Know?

Huda Fahmy books always make me laugh, but this is the first one that made me cry. Centering mental health and her parents divorce, we see Huda grappling with change, loss, anger, and resolve in a raw vulnerable way. While ever hopeful, and at times comical, the book is also incredibly moving and insightful.  Whether as part of the Huda F series or her two graphic novels prior, her autobiographic books always tackle heavy topics in a joyful, hilarious, honest way that appeal to girls and boys from middle school and up.  I know at 263 pages, this book is a YA read, but in my house my kids (daughter and sons) have loved reading her perspective about hijab, arranged marriages, identity, and sibling relationships. The unapologetic Muslim authenticity is unparalleled, and that non Muslims champion her books as well, truly shows the value of good story telling, and gives me hope in an often bleak world. Huda's books are staples: new books are anxiously awaited, previous books are regularly reread, and Huda F Wants to Know? continues in that tradition.  This book isn't just fun, it is important- it normalizes mental health, empowers families shaken up by change, and makes us all feel seen and less alone. SubhanAllah.

The book starts with Huda's plan for her junior year in high school, her friend Nabz and her are determined to buckle down and get scholarships.  When Huda's parents call a family meeting, she thinks she just might be getting a car, but instead she and her sisters learn, their parents are getting a divorce. The book then rewinds to show a little lead up before Huda's world shatters, and junior year's blue print is tossed aside.  We see her going to the masjid for weekly halaqas where Sr Amal discusses topics like societal pressures, family expectations, gender bias in education, and other relevant topics.  At one such gathering, Dr Haifa came to talk about mental health.  We also see her crushing on a boy at school, fighting with her mom and sisters, and the girls going on a road trip to a Muslim convention.

Every storyline, every twist, every page really, has Islam woven in.  It is the way the characters see themselves, see their world, handle stresses, find peace.  Mental health is not separate from the hadith and sunnah, it is blended and approached in a holistic manner.  Divorce is understood Islamically, and the clarity in which it is articulated will, I imagine, be so reassuring for Muslims who have gone through it, and seen others go through it.  Just as my boys years ago read That Can Be Arranged, and became incredibly curious about marriage in Islam, I have no doubt that this book, will also be a powerful conversation starter for so many.  I don't know if that is part of why Huda write, but it definitely is a result of her books.  I wish I could ask her, I'd also want to know how she decides what to share of her own life, where the line of reality and fiction for her is and how she sets and maintains those boundaries? I also desperately would like to ask her if she plans to write forever, because the world benefits from her books, needs her books, I know I do.  No pressure or anything.

Thank you to Dial Books and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Huda Fahmy creates such incredible experiences through her graphic novels. It always feels immersive, as if I’m being pulled back into the same age as her while these experiences are happening. I love how Huda doesn’t leave much out. One of the great things about the YA genre is how it can speak to you at any point in your life.

When her parents announce that they are getting a divorce, Huda and her sisters all react differently. Huda’s mental health declines, her grades struggle, she questions her faith, and she snaps at the people she loves most.

As with her other 2 books, Islam is a part of the story. I loved getting all of the moments where they are going to specific meetings and services, and how she is even giving the opportunity to talk to a woman about her parents’ divorce.

I definitely recommend these graphic novels. They’re filled with so much humor, life, and love. This one comes out 4/1/25. Put it on your TBR, babes!!

CW: divorce, grief, emotional distress, bullying

I loved everything about the first Huda Fahmy book, from the big personalities to the expressive & unique artwork. While the third volume had the same feeling as the first, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. The book ended, and I was left wanting more, and not in the way that would have me scrambling for the next volume.

Thank you to NetGalley, Penguin Young Readers Group, and Dial Books for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Huda is already stressing out about her junior year of high school, but now her life is fully thrown upside down when her parents announce they are getting divorced. While Huda and her sisters all cope with this life changing news in different ways, they are all so valid and relatable to any child going through the same thing.

I’ve loved seeing Huda grow up throughout this series and her ways of coping are so honest to the Huda we have grown to know. Fahmy has done a great job weaving so many important topics (religion, therapy, mental health struggles, and more) into this series, especially in this book.

I can't wait to see the finished copy of this because I do love the author’s artwork and color design.

I really enjoyed this latest addition to Huda's graphic novels.
Even though the events happened to Huda during her high school years, I have middle grade readers who would benefit from reading these novels. I appreciated the humor woven into some serious family and personal situations.
I'll be recommending this to my readers.

Thank you to Netgalley for the free arc!

After reading her first two graphic novels, I was expecting a graphic novel that was more funny than this one. That being said, this was an interesting exploration of what dealing with a parents' divorce and mental health issues was like for a teenage Muslim girl. If Huda Fahmy keeps writing graphic novels, I will continue to read them. I always love the way her titles play with her name in a funny way!

Really loved this other sequel by Huda Fahmy! I have followed her other books throughout their releases and have loved her expressive art style and her moving storytelling .

Once again, Huda Fahmy has written a wonderful graphic novel, this time about getting through parents divorcing, trying to have it all in school, friends, and life, and mental health. I love Fahmy's books: the fictional Huda and her sisters and parents and those around them are great characters with real depth. Fahmy presents the slice-of-Musilm-life stories that make Muslims feel less alone in the US, and help teach non-Muslims that Muslims are people too, with the same concerns and interests as anyone else. Long may her books be available everywhere, including school libraries!

Huda F Wants to Know? is a funny, heartfelt, and totally relatable look at what happens when life throws you a plot twist you definitely didn’t plan for. Huda Fahmy brings her signature humor and sharp observations to this follow-up, balancing big emotions with laugh-out-loud moments in a way that feels so real.

Huda is gearing up for the most ambitious junior year ever—clubs, volunteering, scholarships, you name it. But then her parents drop the D-word (divorce, not dessert—though that might’ve softened the blow). Suddenly, everything feels upside down. Her grades? Yikes. Her friendships? Rocky. Her emotions? A chaotic rollercoaster with no seatbelt.

One of the best things about this graphic novel is how Huda’s voice shines through—funny, sarcastic, but also deeply honest about feeling lost and trying to figure out where she belongs, both in her family and in her community. It’s a fantastic mix of heart and humor, perfect for fans of slice-of-life stories with strong family themes.

If you loved Huda F Cares?, this one is a must-read. And if you haven’t read it yet? Well, now you’ve got two amazing books to add to your list.

Huda is back again and funny as ever in this third follow up to Huda F Are You? Huda is entering junior year and has everything mapped out: join clubs, get a scholarship, ace her college exams, pass the drivers test. Best. Year. Ever. However, life is thrown at her and she gets a huge curveball. Her parents are getting divorced. Huda has always had her family no matter what she has gone through, but this shift is major. Her life is now full of uncertainty. What will this mean for her and her sisters? Will she have to move to a new home? Huda feels her life spinning out of control, and worries what this means for their family dynamic and how the Muslim community will react. Huda F just wants to go back to normal.

In this fictional series of author Huda Fahmy’s life, Fahmy does an amazing and hilarious job of depicting her younger self. Huda is such a relatable character. Like most teenage girls she is crushing on boys, learning to drive, studying for college exams, and juggling friendships. She also deals with hard topics such as grief and fitting in.

I received this as an ARC, but it was not in color which is a bummer as I love Huda’s illustrations. Without color, I felt that I was missing important pieces of the novel. For instance, Huda and her sisters wear different color hijabs and abayas which support their different character's identity. Also color gives the story a more vibrant feel and provides a sense of realism. So this just makes me more anticipated to see the final result.

I highly recommend this book and think both teens and adults will definitely enjoy it. Thank you to NetGalley and Dial Books for the eARC!

Huda is truly talented! Each graphic novel has been superb. I also learn a lot throughout the graphic novel and laugh plenty.

I have loved every single Huda F’s books. This book was no different except I did cry. I felt like I could understand her. While my parents divorced when I was an adult (and it was a good thing), I understood how grief can be. It’s sudden and hard especially when the grief isn’t understood. Huda F always reminds her readers that she is as human as us and I love it.
