Didn't expect the slightly deeper more racism focus for the final third, it was still fantastic, I just didn't expect to have it hit like that, but also it would be amiss to not include it, it's a part of our story. I also loved how this section of the story felt like a love letter to her mum 🥺

The characters are also super fun. Since one of the central themes is identity, it was vital that the supporting characters have defining characteristics and a sense of identity. This really helped highlight Huda's struggles with finding her own identity. Speaking of, boy did Huda remind me of myself at that age. I was not dealing with any sort of religion or race based bigotry, but the rest of it? The struggle of being "the smart one" and getting a grade lower than an A for the first time? Bad teachers that don't get you? Trying to figure out how to make friends and where you fit in? Dealing with your parents' expectations for you? Just high school in general? Oooh yeah. This was that.
[Note on the "drug use" cw: there is no on-screen drug use. There are references to a character likely smoking pot (with no confirmation) and there are a couple moments where a character is assumed to be doing drugs with zero evidence to back up the claim, other than out-of-character behavior. These accusations are played off as humorous.]
