So relevant in today's evolving cultural climate, Fahmy's story offers a perceptive and personal glimpse into the sometimes sticky but ultimately rewarding balance of independent choice and tradition.Chaperones, suitors, and arranged marriages aren't only reserved for the heroines of a Jane Austen novel. They're just another walk in the park for this leading lady, who is on a mission to find her leading lad. From the brilliant comics Yes, I'm Hot in This, Huda Fahmy tells the hilarious story of how she met and married her husband. Navigating mismatched suitors, gossiping aunties, and societal expectations for Muslim women, That Can Be Arranged deftly and hilariously reveals to readers what it can be like to find a husband as an observant Muslim woman in the twenty-first century.

I was so excited to get it because I've been following the artist on Insta but never got round to buying the book. It's such a precious tale and it's really presents this aspect of my culture really well including the pressures. I can't wait to order her other work.

Huda Fahmy’s illustrated book is a humourful but also insightful story how she met her husband.In her always witty style she created a perfect story where you will laugh aloud but at the same time a lot of points will make you think about the pressure we are feeling in our society about finding “the one” for us to marry. I found many similiarities and also some things how it differs from my cultural ubringing which I found very interesting to read about.Fahmy captured first my interest with her feed where she writes/draws in her four panel stories about racism and discrimination a muslim women is confronted daily and her personel experiences with it. She let me feel seen when I read some of her panels and tought exactely I experience that or experienced that too.This book was on my list before it was even published and I’m happy to have it on my own little library now.

POV of a female, hopeless romantic, non practicing Muslim:Oh my goodness! Huda Fahmy has written a book I didn’t know was missing in my life. If you follow her Instagram, you are familiar with the range of wonderful characters. My favourite being her mom, of course.Huda’s vulnerability in this book, hand in hand with the hilarity, really hits you. She opens up about when she felt fantastic and when she felt down. You get this little cartoon character. You care for her. You go through the motions with her. You care about her family and her friends. By the time she meets her husband, she’s a fully formed woman who we’re rooting for.Jane Austen would have been proud of the love story of these two love birds who found each other and became one.Buying to gift to friends.

Ich folge Ms Fahmy schon länger auf Facebook und Insta und empfehle ihre Kanäle absolut!Sie ist dermaßen liebenswürdig, witzig und nerdy. 3Das Buch ist autobiografisch, langjährige Fans kennen die Rohfassung der Geschichte und die meisten der schrulligen Charaktere. Hudas Mutter ist der Kracher!Absolut charmant und gewitzt erzählt uns Ms Huda Fahmy ihren Werdegang, ihren Weg zur Frau voller Selbstwertgefühl Achtung: Lektionen in Selbstliebe zum Nachmachen und Weiterführen! und gibt obendrein sogar sehr liebevolle, universelle Beziehungstipps.
