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"!
