This was very cute and funny story. I say its appropriate for all ages, while learning about Huda's personal journey in discovering love (romantic and self) you also get to learn about many aspects of Islamic culture.
I learned:
When a hijab is normally worn and when it isn't
The rules for gender relations.
What is an arranged marriage and that arranged does not equal forced.
Forced marriages are not allowed in Islam
The rules/steps for courtship (so many Jane Austen parallels)
The different parts of a Muslim wedding
Things I already knew:
How funny Huda's comics are (go follow “yesimhotinthis” on instagram)
how geeky her and her husband are
It's a quick read being a graphic memoir, I read it one sitting and longed for more details. It would make a cute coffee table book for guests to read (if I had a coffee table).
