Yes, I'm Hot in This: The Hilarious Truth about Life in a Hijab
At some point in our lives, we’ve all felt a little out of place. Huda Fahmy has found it’s a little more difficult to fade into the crowd when wearing a hijab.
In Yes, I’m Hot in This, Huda navigates the sometimes-rocky waters of life from the unique perspective of a Muslim-American woman, breaking down misconceptions of her culture one comic at a time. From recounting the many questions she gets about her hijab every day (yes, she does have hair) and explaining how she runs in an abaya (just fine, thank you) to dealing with misconceptions about Muslims.

Absolutely awesome! Insightful, enlightening and happily humorous. I cannot wait to share this with "my" students.

In a Nutshell: Good but not outstanding. A decent one-time-read graphic novel.
In this collection, Huda Fahmy speaks of her experiences as a Muslim-American woman. The mood across the comics ranges from poignant to funny. That said, only a couple of the comic strips made me laugh out loud. The ‘Muslims in Movies’ series was amusing. But as many of the pages dealt with the non-Muslim American’s response to hijabi Muslims, the experience gets repetitive after a while.
I have wanted to read this graphic novel ever since I read Huda Fahmy’s ‘That Can Be Arranged: A Muslim Love Story’. But with high expectations comes disappointment too. This book didn’t create the same impact by far. Better you try TCBA as the author’s personal experiences come out much better in that title. You will also get to know the characters better.
The illustrations are in standard Huda Fahmy style – not elaborate but more like doodles. Nothing fancy, but it works for the content.
3 stars.

Sometimes funny, always truthful. An inside look into what it's like to be a Muslim American woman living in Detroit. The art is quite bad, amounting to little more than doodles, but it's enough to get the story point across.
Received a review copy fro Abrams Media and NetGalley. All thoughts are my own and in no way related to the aforementioned.

As much as I admire and appreciate that Huda Fahmy wrote this graphic novel, I can't rate it higher than two stars. I thought this was going to be a story, but instead it's just a collection of poorly drawn real-life scenarios that Fahmy has experienced throughout her life as a Muslim. These range from the confrontational (strangers asking her how she can "support a religion that oppresses women") to the weird (questions such as whether she sleeps in her hijab). I did like the tone. As a woman who wears a hijab, Fahmy is regularly frustrated by such occurrences, yet here in these pages she was able to make light of it all.
I think most graphic novelists don't collaborate with an illustrator, but I'd suggest that for Fahmy if she writes another graphic novel. The art is, frankly, the ugliest I've ever seen in a graphic novel or comic. Her message is necessary, though, and I did learn a few things. I recommend it as a primer on what daily life is like for conservative Muslim women.

You won't read a lot of comics that will make you a better person, this one of those. Its fresh and funny and so cute. Its honest and so silly and heartbreaking in some parts. Some ppl choose to be really crappy and the fact that someone can use that negativity to enlighten and inform without malice truly makes me proud to be an American. Huda Fahmy offered me a perspective I didn't know I needed. Its a quality voice can't wait to hear more from her.

Very cute and witty! And informational! I was not expecting the glossary at the end but enjoyed that as well.
November 12, 2020
This was absolutely hilarious and relatable to read.
January 31, 2019
I read a lot, and one of the reasons I do so is to find new and fresh perspectives that are easy to be ignorant of in my little, homogenous Iowan bubble. Fahmy drew me in with her humor but made me think seriously about the microaggressions, bigotry and outright hatred many Muslim Americans face frequently in our country.

It's all in the title folks.
This collection of webcomics is a sometimes funny, often insightful, sometimes repetitive take on the microaggressions faced by the author - a Muslim American woman from Detroit. The art is rather basic, but I appreciate that this would be a fun primer for anyone curious and scared to ask.
This collection of comic strips is a quick read, and should maybe be dropped in the mailbox of all those who chanted "Send her home!"

Ok, this isn't much of a story, and there isn't a particular flow to it. It's just a bunch of situations that highlight what it's like to be veiled Muslim and the kind of scenarios you find yourself in and the questions people ask, even when they mean well.
It's a really small, brief book that could easily be read in 30 mins tops, but the reason I'm giving it 5 stars is because of how accurate every single situation Huda described was. It was so relatable, so true, so honest, and extremely hilarious! I loved her outlook on life, her positive energy, and her wonderful relationship with her husband. Coming from a family where my sisters and mom are veiled, I see them go through these situations everyday.
She nailed it. She truly nailed what it feels like to be a Hijabi. Wonderful.

I wish this was longer, but thankfully, I see Fahmy has written more graphic memoirs. It definitely was hilariously truthful.
Fahmy shares what its like for not only her, but so many others in America. We call it a melting pot, but we don’t always all live that “fondue” life. She makes light of the situation, which makes it more relatable, but I hope when people read books like these, they realize, how really not funny it can be. I mean, people threw eggs at this woman, amongst other things! :(
I truly appreciated learning more about how stigmas, and even how the seemingly “innocent” questions are widely misinformed.
My kids asked me several times while I was reading, “What’s so funny?”. I couldn’t explain without lots of explanation, but I’d chuckled enough to get their attention. Hopefully Huda Fahmy will get lots of attention, too! Great book.

Hilarious, very relatable and I loved it.
This is a collection of comic strips about Huda Fahmy’s life as a Muslim American who is so visibly Muslim and her hilarious husband. She talks about her everyday life wearing a hijab, identity, marriage, the stupid stuff people say to her, the West’s obsessions with what’s exotic and orientalist and the moments of hope in between it all. She handles it all in such a funny way with a lot of pop culture references, it’s great!
So many questions that people have asked Huda Fahmy and myself and a lot of other Muslims are so idiotic to the point where I constantly think “did you really say that?” I mean come on, it’s 2019 and if all you do is take the ready-made and packaged information from the media without moving a single finger yourself then you shouldn’t be angry when someone calls you an idiot for the question you just asked. There’s a whole lot of difference between stupid or racist questions and genuine curiosity.

A funny and straightforward look at what it's like to be visibly Muslim in America. Huda talks about wearing the hijab, sometimes needing to use the dressing room to pray, and how to answer the question, "Where are you from? No...where are you *really* from?" Honest, refreshing, relatable, and funny.

THIS WAS AWESOME
Y'all, I'm not a fan of graphic novels but I am in love with this book!!!
It's so funny, so accurate, so painfully awesome and my heart is so full 😭 🖤 I loved it!! Honestly, such a genius way to tackle and show the ridiculousness of all the issues Muslim women and Muslims in general face. Ahh, I loved it!!!
I'm dying of laughter tho, it's so funny 😂

I have never laughed with a book more. It was hilarious and even more than that, so accurate. So many situations that I thought only I experienced were in here and not just about hijab, about relationships, family, food. Just life. Definitely looking forward to more from her.
December 22, 2021
I enjoyed this inside look of Huda's life.
I can definitely appreciate her frustrations about being brown, and Muslim in America. I cringe thinking of times that I've overheard well-meaning people use some of the same micro-agressions that she discusses in her book (where are you REALLY from). I also can't imagine how difficult her life was for her during the previous presidential administration.
I appreciated the bits of humor that were shared, and I also appreciated her honesty in sharing her experiences.

At times quite humorous and at times rather dejecting, Yes, I'm Hot in This: The Hilarious Truth about Life in a Hijab by Huda Fahmy is an insightful account of the various every day encounters Muslim women face as a result of the attire they wear for their religion. The truth is, many of these people are not given understanding and empathy or even the chance to share their culture and religion with others. Rather, many people in America make their own assumptions based on misinformation and propaganda. But fortunately, there are books like this graphic novel to counter the disastrous damage that has been done to this culture and these people.
What Yes, I'm Hot in This does exceptionally well is show that, in spite of the insufferable and unreasonable stereotyping and nonsensical lies spread about this culture, people in Hijab's are just that: people. They live lives similar to everyone else's in a great many ways, they enjoy reading books and watching television the same as many others. The major difference lies solely in their religion.
While I'm personally not a fan of any religion, I do find it utterly despicable that often this world seems to pick and choose which religions are okay and which ones aren't. This world tries to make up some nonsense about how religions that don't match their own are evil in some way--which might be, honestly, why I tend to dislike religions in general as they always seem to bring about some ridiculous fight over whose god is the "real" god--and I think it was truly wonderful to receive an insight into the struggles of a Muslim woman looking for a place to pray. And, in true typical fashion, the white friend character made little effort to understand.
Overall, this book was pretty wonderful. While it did make me sad at times I felt that it was also a very realistic, raw, and true commentary on the world today regarding how many Americans treat other cultures unfairly. Just as Huda hopes for a better world filled with more empathy and understanding, I too hope that we can one day reach a point where that is possible. And if there's anything to show for the fact that, miraculously, this world is making progress it is the fact that this book is going to be out there on December 11th for people to broaden their understanding of a culture and religion that is not their own.
And I hope it has an impact in changing the way others think about and react to the kind, good-natured people who do in fact share a great many things with others and yet have been ostracized for ridiculous reasons in this country.

Yes, I'm Hot in This is a really funny, often snarky glimpse of what it's like to be a hijabi Muslim American woman. Imagine Sarah's Scribbles but Muslim. Self-deprecating humor about everyday life and its peculiarities that also comments on people and situations around the author. The comics are well-drawn and cleverly written. I laughed out loud quite often. I also frequently felt sad or angry reading this book. The treatment of Huda and Muslim American women like her can be really awful. I mean, seriously, who throws bacon at someone just to be a jerk? A) Don't be a jerk. B) Don't waste bacon. Instead, read these comics and learn something, while laughing. Also, next time you see a woman in hijab, smile and say hi.

This #ownvoices collection of comics by Huda (Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda-Huda) Fhamy is a hilarious, eye-opening and entirely relatable depiction of life as a hijabi, and the various overt and covert discriminations and micro-aggressions Muslims (particularly Muslim women) face on a daily basis.
I laughed, cackled, teared up and cheered all the way through, and I think my shriveled empathy capacity grew at least three sizes today.
A must read!

I think all immigrants of color and their children have undergone one or more versions of this, though I believe Muslim women who chose the hijab and Sikh men who wear the turban are probably singled out the most. So this book was great at pointing out the most common micro aggressions and racism we/they face and equally, the ridiculousness of what is actually being said to us/them. And it’s all done with both seriousness and humor.

I've been following Huda Fahmy on Instagram for a while and love how she says it as it is, with humour. The book is frustrating, enlightening and funny, sometimes all three at the same time. You can't help but fall in love with Huda and all the pranks she gets into. But overall, there is sadness. Why do people have to be treated differently just because they are not exactly like you?

ive known huda fahmy since my (really) early tumblr days. her comics did NUMBERS. makes me so happy to see how beloved her work is now.
reading this made me laugh so many times. huda's humour is unmatched. almost two decades of wearing my hijab with pride. so glad to have had these stories with me along the way.
yes, I am in fact hot in this.

This is one of the BEST books out there to read. I LOVE it so much!!!
-A graphic novel/ comic book.
-An easy and quick read.
-Fun, witty, and true.
-Lots of honesty and personal experiences given.
-A PERFECT book for people who want to learn more about Islam and what that religion even is.
-And, an EXCELLENT book for kids to laugh at.
~~
Second time read!!! BOY AM I STILL AS IN LOVE WITH IT AS BEFORE. 🤩
The Pride & Prejudice references were SO on point. Especially since I'm re-watching the show of it on Amazon, and it's just a piece of art. MUAH. 💋
So glad that this was my Fourth of July 🇺🇸 read. TAKE THAT REBEL. (pfffffft)
This book is just so perfect. Screw you for not reading it.

I love how Huda Fahmy uses her humor and love for all things geeky to tell her story of what it’s like being a Muslim American woman. The art style isn’t necessarily something I like, but this was such an enjoyable read.

A really funny and sarcastic take on Islamophobia in the US. It depicts the importance of striving hard to change such stereotypes and attitude towards Muslim women over there.

Ok, I really enjoyed reading this book, except when I read about her experiences with stupid, racist people who EGGED her while she was getting her mail and who threw bacon on her! I am SO MAD and feel so badly for her. NO ONE should have to experience that. She is a human being and deserves to be treated with the respect a human being should receive. It doesn't matter WHAT she is wearing or what she believes!
Seriously people, treat others the way you want to be treated. You don't want to be egged? Then don't egg others!
I am so angry and ashamed that someone who claimed to be an American ever treated the author so badly. America is supposed to be the Land of the Free people! Act like it! Treat everyone with respect!
I just can't even with the idiots that make us look like a country of haters. We aren't all full of hate, I promise!
Ok, those parts obviously hit a nerve with me. There was more to the book that that.
My favorite part of the book? The modest bathing suit. Sister, I am WITH you on that and on the modest dresses that don't show off everything like you are selling something. I am probably what most Americans would consider prudish, as I don't like skirts or dresses unless they are ankle length, I don't wear shorts and just the idea of wearing a bathing suit makes me start to sweat. If you aren't my S.O., they you don't get to see more than my arms and my face, ok?
So, if I were to ever go to the beach and saw someone in the modest bathing suit, I would be complimenting them on it and wishing I was brave enough to wear it, rather than a bathing suit, t-shirt and swimming trunks. Or just wearing jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt. I'm sure the modest bathing suit is more comfortable.
I really enjoyed this book, even the parts that made me angry and sad for her and for others who have experienced those horrible things. (Ok haters, yes, I know in other countries they throw worse and do worse to those they disagree with, but America is supposed to be better than that, according to the PR. That we aren't is a shame. So if we want to actually live the ideal, stop hating and start respecting and treating everyone how you want to be treated.)
I liked the simple artwork, the bright colors and the sense of humor that she has. Some days, it seems that she needs it, unfortunately. I respect her story. 4 solid stars. Highly recommended for all to read. I know this review focused more on the anger I felt for her, but the book is not negative. She is smart and funny and isn't going to let negative actions by some morons embitter her. Worth reading, definitely.
My thanks to NetGalley and Adams Media for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.
