Huda F Would Love You?
In this funny and tender finale to the Huda F series, Huda has a plan to find love—but she might need to find herself first!

Because Huda has the ingredients for a perfect love a butt-kicking girl power squad of new friends, and a plan to woo all the aunties into setting her up with their eligible sons. But when she finds herself caught between her friends and her heart, gender roles and ambitions, and her fears and dreams, Huda begins to realize that finding her own “happily ever after” might require changing herself—or her expectations.

Review of advance copy received from Edelweiss+
She's so funny I was having the time of my life
I can't explain how much I love Huda Fahmy's books. The representation is probably the most accurate I've ever read, there are so many little moments that are literally exact experiences I've had.
This book was really interesting because Huda is figuring out what love is, romance's place in her life, and generally finding herself. While I'm not a hopeless romantic like she is, I'm a bit of the opposite actually, I really liked seeing her journey.
My favourite part was the MSA girls masquerade and how the author linked the themes at the end with Khadijah (rA) as a role model.
This series is hilariously healing, if you're a hijabi girl you can't not pick it up. The family dynamics, the casually Muslim lifestyle, it's so unapologetic, it's funny it's real, it's anything but stereotypical, I recommend it with my whole heart. Especially in book 2, I really resonated with the way the girls were being raised in general, I was kind of surprised to see it, I never thought I'd feel so seen.
I will read anything Huda Fahmy writes, I can't wait for what's next.

it's been a minute since i picked up the third book in the Huda series but i still remember how each one of them made me feel seen and this fourth book delivered on that same feeling.
as a muslim girl who is a hopeless romantic just like huda, i constantly find myself wondering how love is actually supposed to happen for us. growing up in a community where guys and girls are mostly kept separate until you're deemed old enough to get married makes navigating those feelings so... awkward. are we really supposed to just put our hearts on hold until adulthood to experience being loved? and what are we supposed to do in the meantime while dealing with the constant judgment and expectations from all the aunties and uncles? watching huda stumble her way through all these unspoken rules and expectations is so entertaining and funny but also real.
i really appreciate how the story handles the reality of romanticizing people too. when you're young and looking for validation it is so easy to put someone on a pedestal and we so often convince ourselves that someone is the right person while ignoring all their red flags just because we crave that acceptance. but once we truly learn to understand ourselves, we realize that accepting ourselves is more than enough. this book is a story about love in all its forms romantic, platonic, and most importantly love for yourself.
i'm so incredibly sad that this is the final book and i'm going to miss all the laughs and these characters so much. but huda fahmy if you are reading this, i will literally devour whatever you decide to write next!!

Soooooooo good! The best Huda F yet, and that's high praise. So sad this is the series finale but I so respect the real Huda F wrapping up a popular series when she feels it's time. And sooooooo looking forward to whatever she writes next insh'Allah!
October 20, 2026
I love this series so much and I’m so sad it’s coming to an end! It’s such a great series that shows how universal so much of our experiences really are.
I loved the Austen of it all and I ESPECIALLY love how she showed how easy it is to be consumed by wanting something, like love, that it blinds us to problems. The last page? 🤌🏻

The Huda F series is so endearing because Huda is such an outstanding character, and in this fourth book, she focuses on the next area of interest for her after high school graduation: marriage! A crush will do in the meantime, but let's just say Huda is a romantic and she is not exactly patient. She wants her fairy tale now.
On the road to that fairy tale, Huda continues living her regular experience. She's in class, meeting new friends, and even engaging with some romantic potential. She's also on the wedding circuit, which forces her to interface with some challenging comments and ideas at times.
In all of these spaces, Huda learns more about what she wants in a romantic partner and also what is acceptable in any type of close relationship. It's this element that will be particularly helpful to readers of all ages who sometimes find themselves in toxic or even just less-than-ideal matches. The messaging is clear but not didactic, and I really liked how this was handled toward the end of the book, especially, as events and connections come to points of resolution.
I enjoy this character and series and appreciate that there's a mix of Huda-specific content and material related to all kinds of readers. This is a necessary addition to the group.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Young Readers Group for providing an ARC of this title. All opinions are my own.
By this point I've said it a dozen times or more, but one more won't hurt: I LOVE Huda. I love Yes, I'm Hot In This; I love her graphic novel for adults about meeting and marrying her husband (That Can Be Arranged); and I love, love, love this charming, funny, poignant series for young adults about a fictionalized version of Huda trying to find her place in the world. Where previous volumes tackled such topics as searching for her identity as a young Muslim woman, dealing with four opinionated sisters, her parents' divorce, and her own mental health journey, this fourth and final installment finds Huda on the precipice of adulthood--newly graduated from high school, taking classes at the local community college--and with finding a husband forefront in her mind. Her journey from believing she must change herself in order to be desirable to a potential future husband (and the scheming aunties whom she must first please in order to be seen as a potential future wife) to learning that the only person she should be trying to love is HERSELF was beautifully done--helped along by a squad of cool new friends who love and accept her, occasionally hindered by a cute boy with ill intentions. The manners and mores of Huda's beloved Jane Austen serve as a clever framing device for Huda navigating the world of Muslim courtship and marriage (even if the people in her life lovingly point out that much of it comes from Huda's imagination, and is not a one-to-one comparison). And Huda herself, both author and on-page avatar, is as funny, witty, and unafraid to poke gentle fun at herself as ever. The guide at the end of the book to relationship red flags is also a useful supplement that doesn't talk down to its teenage audience. I know this is the end of Huda-the-character, but I so hope we get more graphic novels from the real Huda F. in the future!

Thank youuu to Penguin Young Readers Group (Dial Books) for the eARC for review! Sad that this is the last in the series, but especially with the snapshot epilogue, what a good send off.
I only discovered (or rather, started reading) this series last year but since I've caught up completely - love a graphic autobio, and even though the Huda F? series is fictional, there is a fair amount of autobiography in here so, close enough? It's been lovely going through Huda's high school experience into her college life, navigating Normal Teenage Girl Things on top of trying to adhere to religious/cultural tenants too. There's so much love here for BEING Muslim and it's really sweet. I think the expected standard would be to push back against certain things (like, in this book, how to interact with boys) but really it's more about fitting the outside American world within the Muslim cultural norms. It's refreshing and really lovely - despite the turmoil of high school, a divorce, navigating aunties, etc, there's so much love here for family and culture while still being so very American.
A really great addition to any youth library, and really relatable I think even to non-Muslims of that same age.

It Elizabeth Bennet had a hijabi sistep who was eager to meet her Mr Darcy that would be Huda F.
I was screaming at my screen to tell her to prioritise herself. So glad amazing women and terrible men around her made her realise her worth.

Perfect ending to the perfect YA series. I laughed, I cried, I yelled at that Wickhamesque character. I am so sad that we're saying goodbye to Huda F, but I can't wait to read Huda Fahmy's next series. She's the funniest person writing for kids and teens today. So grateful for her art and storytelling. Highly recommend - get the entire series!!!
October 25, 2026
What a wonderful and satisfying end to this series. I have enjoyed all of the Huda F books, this one is no exception. Huda is joining young adulthood and learning how to start her life. Is it through marriage, school, new friends? This is an absolutely brilliant story.
October 22, 2026
so proud of my close personal friend, that I definitely didn't just kind of meet one time, Huda Fahmy.

Huda F Would Love You? by Huda Fahmy is a fictional memoir YA graphic novel and the last in the Huda F series. After graduating as salutatorian, Huda F embarks on her first year at her community college and plans on finding herself a spouse and fast. In her English literature class, she finds a guy who seems to be perfect for her, but he might be hiding some pretty big things from her.
I'd heard about this series several times on Booktube, so I was certainly curious and requested when I saw this one on NetGalley. This is the only book in the series I have read so far (I will be reading the rest), but I didn't feel lost at all despite not having the full context from the other graphic novels, so if this one tickles your fancy or looks the most appealing to the tween or teen in your life, I wouldn't hesitate to pick it up.
I really appreciated how Huda Fahmy discussed both grooming and passive-aggressive comments as well as men who are traditional in all the wrong ways. There's nothing wrong with a guy who wants to work or a mom who wants to be a house spouse, but there is something wrong with holding women back from their dreams or acting like women are destroying society for calling out toxic masculinity. There's nothing explicit on the page, not even a kiss, and how these topics are discussed felt appropriate for a tween who is just starting to think about romantic relationships.
Despite the heavy topics, this was fairly humorous and light-hearted while also hitting it's ideas home in gentle ways. The title of the series, Huda F, feels so apt now that I've read this: Huda Fahmy not afraid of more mature ideas, but she's also going to show care for her young readers who might be encountering those ideas for the first time. Her perspective as a modern American Muslim woman shines through on every page and in no way did I feel that the story was unrelatable even though I'm not Muslim myself.
Content warning for mentions of grooming and depictions of passive-aggressive and misogynistic behavior
I would recommend this to tween readers who are getting ready to think about romance and teen readers preparing for college

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Huda F Would Love You is the finale of the Huda F series, finishing her coming of age story as she starts her first year of college and begins to think about “love”. For Huda, this means entering an Austenian-like world filled with weddings, matchmaking, and getting the aunties’ approval.
I noted that this book had some similarities to Fahmy’s earlier book That Can Be Arranged, both presenting the Muslim marriage process as something similar to a Jane Austen novel and regency practices as a whole. However, this book was clearly not as autobiographical as That Can Be Arranged, which does allow Fahmy to go into some interesting directions with the story.
I found the theme of learning to focus on yourself before feeling the need to jump into a relationship very well done. I also found that it presented how desperation and low self worth can cause people to ignore red flags in a way that was insightful without becoming too excessive.
I really like the ending of this story with one of the girls getting engaged and being supported by her friends without it putting any pressure on anyone else to get married and the romance fake-out at the end with Huda.
The art style is nice. A bit simplistic, but it works well for the story.
Overall, Huda F Would Love You is a heartfelt coming of age story that pushes aside the expectation of marriage without even knowing yourself first.

The fourth book in the beloved Huda F graphic novel series once again expertly weaves humor, life lessons, relatability, and unapologetic Islamic rep. Add in that the book is framed around a "Life and Work of Jane Austen" class, goes meta blurring tropes and plot points, and features strong real and fictional Muslim women, and I think this might be my favorite Huda F book yet, yes I'm hoping it isn't the last. SuhanAllah truly, the author and her books are such a blessing to us all. At 256 pages this book is a solid YA, but I think older and younger audiences, boys and girls alike, will enjoy and benefit. The surface is a bit of a rom com, coming of age, Huda finding herself in the summer after high school with friends and family away on their own adventures, and her wanting to get married. Alhumdulillah, the author's style and the graphic novel format keeps the story from being didactic but the character's growth is articulated clearly to ensure the messaging does not miss. The book dives into marriage readiness, expectations, self awareness, and as I've always said since her very first books, they are great conversation starters with the young people in your life. Whether discussing mental health, family dynamics, hijab, and in this one, love, the author really has a knack for conveying powerful and important themes in Islamic ways that are hilarious, consumable, and lingering. I highly recommend mamas (aka aunties) also read it as a reminder (haha) for how we should help our kids at this stage in their lives.
SYNOPSIS:
From the publisher
It’s the summer after Huda’s high school graduation, and love is in the air! Or it’s about to be, anyway. Because Huda has the ingredients for a perfect love story: a butt-kicking girl power squad of new friends, and a plan to woo all the aunties into setting her up with their eligible sons. But when she finds herself caught between her friends and her heart, gender roles and ambitions, and her fears and dreams, Huda begins to realize that finding her own “happily ever after” might require changing herself—or her expectations.
WHY I LIKE IT:
I love the Jane Austen references and the tropes of enemies to lovers, slow burn, and friends to lovers pages with the period inspired drawings, seriously had me squealing and feeling seen. I also love that no one is forcing her to marry, it is completely on her, and that everyone is supporting her to find her self, not compromise who she is, and not rush anything. I know the disclaimer says it is all fictionalized, but the references to earlier books, and the layers of the character Huda, really make her feel very very real. I also love how Khadijah RA and Fatima Al-Fihriyyah are brought in and mentioned, that there is a niqabi biker, and that even with Huda having sisters, she also needs her sisters in Islam.
FLAGS:
Relationships, gossip, misleading presentation,
TOOLS FOR LEADING THE DISCUSSION:
This should seriously be required high school Islamic school, college/university MSA, masjid older youth group required reading. We need to be having these conversations with our youth that are wanting to get married, and humor is such a great vehicle to address the topic. To see what awareness about our own expectations is and how it might need to be adjusted, and how to assess the potential spouse and their motives, along with building a community that truly will support you in your own growth whether marriage is the goal or not, is so needed. Truly a great book, with a lot of entry points and utilization.

Summary: This fourth and final graphic novel in the beloved Huda F series by Huda Fahmy. Set during the summer after Huda's high school graduation, the story follows her as she begins community college and pursues her mission to find a husband. Armed with a plan to charm the aunties into setting her up with eligible sons and supported by a new squad of girl-power friends, Huda navigates the complexities of Muslim courtship and modern romance. However, as she encounters a seemingly perfect boy in her English literature class and stumbles through unspoken cultural rules and expectations, she discovers that finding her "happily ever after" requires more than external validation.
Straight Talk for Librarians: At 256 pages, this coming-of-age story balances rom-com lightness with meaningful character growth, exploring marriage readiness, self-awareness, and the role of community in a young Muslim woman's life. Readers will connect will connect with this story because it authentically captures the confusion and excitement of navigating romance and identity during young adulthood. For Muslim teens, especially hijabi girls, the book offers rare and unapologetic representation that feels genuinely seen and understood. Readers consistently report that Huda's experiences mirror their own—from the awkwardness of gender separation in their communities to the constant pressure and judgment from aunties and uncles. The humor throughout makes serious topics feel accessible rather than preachy, allowing teens to laugh while processing real challenges.The graphic novel format keeps the story engaging and visually entertaining. The book handles mature themes like grooming, passive-aggressive behavior, and misogynistic attitudes in age-appropriate ways that spark important conversations. The inclusion of strong historical and contemporary Muslim women as role models—like Khadijah and Fatima Al-Fihriyyah—provides positive cultural anchors. Additionally, the relationship red flags guide at the end empowers young readers with practical wisdom about recognizing unhealthy dynamics. The story also celebrates platonic love, familial bonds, and self-love, resonating with teens of all backgrounds who are learning to accept themselves. Fahmy's witty, self-aware voice and the genuine character development make this book feel like advice from a trusted older sister rather than adult instruction. This book enriches school libraries by offering teens a mirror, a window, and a map for navigating their own journeys toward authenticity and self-love.

The humor throughout makes serious topics feel accessible rather than preachy, allowing teens to laugh while processing real challenges.The graphic novel format keeps the story engaging and visually entertaining. The book handles mature themes like grooming, passive-aggressive behavior, and misogynistic attitudes in age-appropriate ways that spark important conversations. The inclusion of strong historical and contemporary Muslim women as role models—like Khadijah and Fatima Al-Fihriyyah—provides positive cultural anchors. Additionally, the relationship red flags guide at the end empowers young readers with practical wisdom about recognizing unhealthy dynamics. The story also celebrates platonic love, familial bonds, and self-love, resonating with teens of all backgrounds who are learning to accept themselves. Fahmy's witty, self-aware voice and the genuine character development make this book feel like advice from a trusted older sister rather than adult instruction. This book enriches school libraries by offering teens a mirror, a window, and a map for navigating their own journeys toward authenticity and self-love.

Genuinely, what is not to love about this book? Huda Fahmy has written an absolute masterpiece about how we can sometimes get so caught up in trying to find love that we end up forgetting to love ourselves. Like with the previous books in the series, it was an absolute banger. The art was incredible and the illustrations were just so freaking amazing. It also deals with many important, real-world issues such as (like I mentioned earlier) loving yourself, unrealistic expectations, grooming/predators, and being judged just for being yourself.
I love how Huda is initially worried that no one is going to want her and she's going to die alone but by the end, she decides to live life and live for herself. I also loved how Huda Fahmy wrote the main guy in this story, Loki, because he seemed like a good guy in the beginning but then he ended up being toxic and a total asshole (although I was suspicious of him from the beginning). Also, Huda's sisters are iconic as always. Huda and Neda's dynamic in this book was hilarious. There's this part where they're talking on a group chat and they're all chastising Huda for causing problems at a wedding and Huda's trying to defend herself and it was just very entertaining to read.
Also, I love that Huda's mom defended her from the aunties that were talking smack about Huda. Another scene I really loved was when an auntie tried to set Huda up with her son and he was one of those toxic, alpha male podcasters, that was genuinely hilarious. I also loved the Hamilton reference in the beginning and all the Jane Austen references. One scene that I feel was very important was when Huda was talking with her eldest sister Dena and Dena is like "I love that Khadijah (RA) lived for herself" and it sent Huda into a spiral, wondering if she's ever lived for herself. There's also this part towards the end that is, unfortunately, a very real issue. One of the girls, whose name is Leenah, mentions that her sister was being groomed but, instead of the blame being put on the guy (who it turns out was Loki), Leenah was chastised by her parents for "trying to ruin her sister's reputation". The only thing I dislike about this book is that it's the final book in the series so no more Huda F books 😔. All in all, the book is just *insert chef's kiss* and incredible, immediate five stars.

Huda has graduated from high school and is ready to transfer her community college credits so she can start college as a junior. Her life plan list is going well, and the last thing she needs to check off is "fall in love". She's planning on making her debut into society by going to a lot of weddings in the summer, even if her sister tells her she's the only one who thinks of this as a debut. She doesn't have a lot of luck charming the aunties who might fix herr up with their sons, but she doesn't give up. She's spending a lot of time on the community college campus waiting to pick up her younger sister, and gets involved with a group of young women who are planning an event for women with a dance and a speaker. She really likes them, even if a cute young man, Loki, in one of her classes doesn't have nice things to say about them. She starts to worry that she will never find anyone to love her, but has enough sense to eventually realize that Loki isn't someone with whom she should get involved. She doesn't eventually meet a nice young man her family knows, and at the end of the book, their mothers have been in contact. This seems to be the last book in the series.
My students have enjoyed seeing Huda's other exploits, but I'm not sure how interested middle school girls will be in husband hunting. There are some good messages about how people should treat each other, although I would have liked to see a little more about how Huda navigated the aunties not appreciating that she wanted a career. (Not enough time for domestic chores, and the Huda's idea that her husband would share in them equally did NOT go over well!) It would be fine in a middle school, but I'm going to think about it for a bit.

THIS IS THE BEST HUDA F BOOK YET!!!!
Okay, I know I say this every single time, but I mean it, every single time!
May Allah bless Huda Fahmy for managing to always tell a story that's funny, deep, thoughtful, meaningful, and hosts a wide variety of life lessons for Muslim girls (and, frankly, for Muslim boys too!).
In this final installment of the Huda F series (excuse me while I go ugly cry in a corner), Huda is taking a Jane Austen college class and, predictably, daydreaming about love and marriage... as she attends weddings that only fuel her motivation to get hitched as soon as possible. But - as always - Huda discovers that maaaaaaaybe there's something deeper and more important to consider... and that love doesn't always need to be romantic.
I actively squealed aloud while reading this book! I lost count of how many things I adored! From repping MY REAL LIFE FRIEND SHAYKHA MARJAAN (aka Biker Niqabi!!!!!!!!), to name-dropping "A Continuous Charity" (an organization I've featured twice on the MuslimMatters podcast!), to highlighting Khadijah (ra) and Fatima al-Fihriyyah, to brilliantly navigating Muslim girls' pursuit of marriage and how to spot red flags - there's so much in this book that is absolutely incredible and serves as a point of deep reflection for all readers.
Pre-order this IMMEDIATELY and complete your collection ASAP! And then host book clubs with it! Youth group sessions! Force every single one of your best friends to read it!

The hilarious and poignant conclusion to the Huda F series by @yesimhotinthis
💕
Huda has just graduated from high school and is ready for the summer to bring the romance she’s always imagined. A devoted fan of classic love stories, she sets out to meet potential matches at weddings and community events, hoping the aunties will introduce her to the perfect husband. But as she juggles new friendships, college plans, family expectations, and her own ambitions, Huda begins to question what love (and her future) should really look like. Through humorous mishaps, cultural pressures, and heartfelt self-reflection, Huda learns that finding a happily-ever-after might mean redefining the life she thought she wanted.
💍
This is the book young adults need right now. Huda tackles so many important realities of modern dating from learning how to recognize genuine partners, while avoiding those who gaslight, offer backhanded compliments, or lean into toxic masculinity. It’s funny, honest, and incredibly thoughtful about what it means to build healthy relationships, while still figuring out who you are. I truly wish this series would never end, but this final YA graphic novel arrives on October 20. Thank you Huda for the gift this series has been. I’m so excited and truly honored to moderate your panel at TLA with Jarrett Lerner!
CW: toxic masculinity, gaslighting, divorce, sexism, toxic relationship

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
I have read every Huda Fahmy book at this point, so I went into Huda F Would Love You? with pretty high expectations—and I absolutely loved it.
One of my favorite things about Fahmy’s work has always been how tongue-in-cheek she is. Her humor is so dry, sharp, and perfectly timed, especially when she is writing about family, culture, expectations, and all the absurd little ways those things collide. This book has that same unmistakably Huda voice I love, and there were so many moments where a facial expression or one perfectly placed line completely took me out.
I also really loved the family dynamics here. Fahmy is so good at writing relationships that are loving and frustrating and complicated all at once. Nothing feels overly sentimental or flattened into an easy lesson. There is real warmth underneath all the teasing, awkwardness, and chaos, which is part of why her books work so well for me.
And, as always, the graphic novel format is a huge part of the comedy. The expressions, visual timing, pacing, and little background details make the jokes land even harder. I flew through this book.
At this point, Huda Fahmy could probably publish a graphic novel about standing in line at the DMV and I would read it. She has such a distinct voice, and Huda F Would Love You? is funny, heartfelt, clever, and wonderfully Huda.
Five stars. I loved it.

Huda Fahmy does it again! As with the others, I will definitely be adding this one to my library’s collection & to my own.
Huda F Would Love You? Opens up right after Huda has graduated high school. All of her sisters except Neda are gone for the summer and her best friend has moved. Huda has to put herself out there and make new friends at the community college she is attending AND she has to find a way to impress the aunties so that she can find a husband. As the Jane Austen loving romantic that she is, she is positive she has the moves to rack up all sorts of offers - until she crashes and burns at multiple weddings (aka marriage markets for aunties).
Huda also meets a guy named Loki in her summer class who she starts crushing on. He seems perfect for her - at first - and she is thrilled when he asks her to be his partner on an essay assignment. As her confidence grows, Huda starts speaking her mind more and Loki’s real - and absolutely heinous - personality comes out.
Fahmy ends the book with an informational page on Relationship Red Flags that is something everyone could benefit from reading.
Of the 4 Huda F books, I think this one is my favorite. ❤️ Huda really starts to come into her own and believe in herself & her self-worth.
I am truly going to miss having new Huda F books to read and enjoy.

I've been following Huda for almost a decade, so it was really special to read the final installment of this series! This graphic novel follows Huda's adventures pursuing relationships--friendship, romance, and self-love too. In the pursuit for a future husband, Huda's sense of self hangs in the balance.
I think a lot of people will relate to parts of this. Judgmental aunties are a universal experience that Huda captures so well. She also does a great job of depicting what it feels like to want acceptance and approval from others and how that can impact how you see yourself. In the end, there's a beautiful message: there's no rush to find your person, especially when you have your own self to find first.
Apart from relatability, the characters in the book are great. I loved the friendships and real personalities that each MSA girl has. The friendships and sisterhood brought both heartfelt and comedic moments that were great to read about. The Jane Austen parallels were also a big plus, and I loved the art style!
Finally, I really appreciated Huda's inclusion of red flags and toxic traits in a potential partner. It's easy to idealize relationships as a young adult, so this message and story was very important <3

A contemporary young adult graphic novel about a Muslim girl facing the pressure to get married after graduating high school and entering college. The illustrations are highly stylized and full of humour. There's a lot of cultural references to Muslim life and a diversity of characters of different race / ethnicity. Most importantly, it's a wholesome lesson about self-worth, power of friendship, and a warning against predatory men. While the message is fairly overt, it didn't feel too preachy and was wrapped in humour and vivid personalities of various characters. It's a great message for people of all ages, faiths and ethnicities.
I haven't read the previous installments in the Huda series, but it was pretty easy to jump into this one. I appreciated footnotes explaining cultural and religious terms that could be unfamiliar to the non-Muslim reader. I liked how it mentioned important historical women figures both from the West (Huda is writing an essay about Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice) and from the Muslim world (Huda and her friends are preparing a speech event about Khadijah, the first wife of Muhammed).
Overall, excellent educational value mixed with great fun.

**Huda F Would Love You?** by Huda Fahmy was such a fun, heartwarming, and relatable read! 💕 I went into this graphic novel expecting something light and entertaining, and it completely delivered—but I also found myself connecting with the characters and the little moments more than I expected.
Huda Fahmy has such a fun way of balancing humor with real-life emotions. The illustrations made the story even more enjoyable, and I loved how expressive and full of personality everything felt. There were definitely moments that made me laugh, but there were also those sweet, thoughtful moments that made the story feel genuine.
I especially enjoyed how easy this was to read while still having something meaningful underneath all the humor. It felt like spending time with someone who just *gets it*. The pacing was great, the artwork was adorable, and the overall vibe was exactly what I needed.
This was such a cute, refreshing graphic novel, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for something funny, relatable, and easy to fall into. Huda Fahmy has officially made me want to pick up more of her work!
**5/5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**

If you are familiar with the Huda F series of graphic novels, I think this is the best one of the bunch, and this is coming from someone who thought the third book in the series was the best one. If you are not familiar with this series, but have read “Aren’t you Hot in That?” This is by the same woman, Huda Fahmy.
This forth book is about Huda going to community college, and meeting a club of Muslim women, as well as getting a crush on a guy that she thinks is all that. The group of women know Loki, and Loki knows the women, and they both hate each other. Huda has to get over the puppy love to realize who is right, and who is wrong.
During all this, she keeps going to weddings, with her mother, and wondering if she will meet the Auntie who has a son she can fall in love with.
It is funny and heartfelt, and you want to pull Huda aside, and tell her to stop living in a Jane Austin novel all the time.
Preorder this now, if you haven’t already, which I have. In fact, buy all four books, while you are at it. All the stars.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review. This book is coming out on the 20th of October 2026.

I was so excited when I saw this book was coming out. I have followed Huda Fahmy's series for years, and this is such a satisfying addition.
Set in her first year of college, Huda F Would Love You explores the tension of building your sense of self and self-confidence in the face of social pressures that give a single narrative about how to find love. Huda is desperate to get married, because she sees that as a way to be validated and loved, and is twisting herself into knots to try and meet the expectations of aunties on the marriage circuit who value a particular form of female submissiveness. Meanwhile as she starts her English literature degree she becomes infatuated with man in her class on Jane Austen who is a walking red flag, but thankfully makes friends with four fabulous women when she accidentally joins the Muslim Student Association's organising committee for the women's ball, who help shift her perspective and feel more empowered to live her own life. It is a wonderful read, full of Huda's normal wit and self-effacing humour. This series should be in every school library.
