Beautiful style! I really appreciated the vibrancy and "messy" appearance while keeping the page easily legible and not overwhelming
I felt some parts lacking and with a short book that does kinda make it less appealing
But the depiction of identity (queerness, being arab, away from family, and the way all these parts become one) is done well and could be felt in every page and detail
