This is a delightful comic format book that tells the story of Fahmy's arranged marriage and her years waiting to find "the one." This is a great insight into a culture that's pretty foreign to me. Fahmy is so likeable and relatable. The book wasn't just informative but also just a fun read. I'm a new fan of Huda Fahmy.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

3.5/5 Stars

This comic book tells the story of Huda, the author, and her arranged marriage to the man of her dreams and the love of her life, Gehad. This book definitely gives a lot of information on this type of marriage that people may not be familiar with. It was quite funny and I adored the parts where her mother was involved in the courting process.
I also very much admired how the themes of self-growth and self-love were dealt with, it was very nice to see Huda realize things about herself and learn from them.
The drawing style was a bit simplistic in my opinion, but other than that it was a good read.

I had already pre-ordered this book, based on "Yes, I'm hot in this", Huda's first book, which was a collection of her strips.

I was not disappointed. Well written, full of humor, this is a great way to explain what arranged marriages are to the non-muslim world. Because of her English literature background, Huda is able to pull in Jane Austin, and explain, the similarities of dating then, with dating now.

Although, something that wasn't around in the Regency period, email that her mother had to read.

Through it all, Huda makes fun of her feelings, and her reactions, and generally has a good time telling how she met the man that would become her husband.



Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

I can’t tell you the absolute happiness I felt at seeing Muslim characters not only in a book, but featured on NetGalley! I felt seen!!! I follow Huda on every single social media possible, and we love her relatable and adorably hilarious comics! When I found out she had written this book, I snatched it right up! Hilarious, relatable, and heartwarming, I absolutely loved it ^_^

Opening narration in a jane austen style.
Enough said!!
This little gem made me smile today! Read it!!

I would like to thank the publisher for giving me a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second book I've read from Huda Fahmy and I am so thankful for her! She has a fresh, fun take on her life and is teaching the reader about her culture. I want to be her friend!

I really liked this book, it was very light and sweet. I really enjoyed Huda's sense of humor and her openness. I also appreciated the Harry Potter & other pop culture references :-)

This was such a fun sequel to Huda's first book! She delves into how she met her husband, along with all the muslim traditions that go along with that. I really enjoyed her warmhearted humor.

An interesting insight into a religious practice that I knew nothing about. It dispels misconceptions about identity, autonomy and independence for Muslim women, whilst still highlighting the staunch differences between arranged and forced marriages.

I received an advanced readers copy of this book from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC, in exchange for an honest review. Huda the Great delivers again! I can’t wait to order this! Our library has “Yes, I’m hot in this!” and it’s in steady rotation! Snarky, witty, honest, and relatable. I admire her love and devotion to her beliefs, the way she shares her experiences as a Muslim woman without attempting to speak for all Muslim women. I can’t wait to share this one with our patrons!

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman of 25 will probably never get married. Well... That was the truth in my community anyway..."

In her second book, Huda Fahmy--author of the hilarious "Yes, I'm Hot In This" webcomic--tells the story of how she met the love of her life, Gehad. She recounts the ups and downs, the feelings of longing and jealousy for a husband, how a bad suitor led to her reconnecting with God, how she relates to the struggles of Jane Austen's heroines, and ultimately how all of that led to meeting Gehad. With her quick wit, humor, and love for all things nerdy, Fahmy bares her soul and addresses a near universal concept: longing for someone to love, and struggling to find the right person--and, most importantly, get married for the right reasons.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that everyone will fall in love with "That Can Be Arranged"!
