That Can Be Arranged: A Muslim Love Story, by Huda Fahmy

[sophia_sol]

This is a short little comic-book memoir about the author's experiences of love and arranged marriage in the context of her Muslim family and community. It's funny and sweet, but very light-weight and surface-level, just skimming over everything that happens. I can see what it's going for: writing a story that normalizes her experiences of how relationships are handled in her community. Which is great! But it all flies by so fast that there's no real feeling of weight to anything she talks about. A fun enough read but not a book that is likely to stick with me.
