manha10's review against another edition
Great representation of having immigrant parents and struggling to find your identity when you grow up with multiple cultures. A lot of the feelings that the author expressed in this novel was spot on. Although I liked the color palette, some of the pages had a lot going on. Otherwise, it was a really great and fast read!

Graphic memoir of what it's like growing up in the United States with immigrant parents.

I absolutely loved this. Gharib’s tone and expressive doodles were perfectly matched to be both irreverent and poignant. Her mixed-race experience carries greatly from my own, but I still felt such a strong connection to her. The more narratives of mixed-race people I read, the more I come to feel that, although nothing is universal and there is no such thing as “mixed-race culture”, there are profound understandings, desires, and insecurities that many of us share. Highly recommend this beautiful and joyful read.

Covered too much ground too quickly for me to feel invested in her story.
