I really really love this heartwarming coming of age series about a Muslim girl, Huda, and her beloved family!!! Can’t wait for the next in the series.

A weird book where a lot of nothing happens but you nonetheless come out feeling changed. Very Kafkaesque~ This was the first graphic novel I’ve read that actually read like a book of short stories more than a graphic novel.

I loved the way women showed up for each other in this comic and the characterization. But…aside from this, it was a bit painful to read. A little too flowery/elevated/abstract in its focus—but this works for Rivera in her other works (loved Juliet Takes a Breath). America is not for me, but I do recommend if anyone else feels this way as well, to still check out Rivera’s work because she is awesome.
