Huda F Would Love You?: A Graphic Novel

Huda Fahmy grew up in Dearborn, Michigan, and has loved comics since she was a kid. She attended the University of Michigan where she majored in English. She taught English to middle and high schoolers for eight years before she started writing about her experiences as a visibly Muslim woman in America and was encouraged by her older sister to turn these stories into comics. Huda, her husband, Gehad, and their children reside in Houston, Texas.

★ “Fahmy excels at treating serious topics with a light comedic touch. She honestly explores dilemmas like never talking to boys, being expected to secure a husband, and perceiving gaslighting, backhanded compliments, and toxic masculinity for what they are. This heady celebration of Jane Austen, Muslim culture, and strong Muslim women role models is empowering and heartwarming. The colorful, cartoon-style illustrations with simple, cleanly drawn faces accentuate the characters’ emotions and keep readers engaged. A spirited ending worthy of an encore.” —Kirkus, starred review
