I've said it before but memoirs and/or autobiographies are generally hard to rate. But I enjoyed this one.
A younger Huda had to reconcile with identity, loneliness, validation, ignorance, and discrimination. And some parts of this were very relatable to me like going to church every week, halaqa in her case, and the confessing to a boy you liked him. I almost did that! Somehow, I feel like it would've blown up in my face just like it did for her lol. Pretty charming.
Only nitpick(s): I think the artwork adds some charm, but I think collaborating with another artist could've also been nice. But that's personal preference.
The ending resolution felt slightly rushed. i would've like to see Huda tell Joe her plan. . I don't know if it was altered for the sake of the story because it mentions Tiktok, but I'm sure that wasn't there when the author was younger.
