It Won't Always Be Like This: A Graphic Memoir

(W/A/CA) Malaka Gharib. It's hard enough to figure out boys* beauty* and being cool when you're young* but even harder when you're in a country where you don't understand the language* culture* or social norms. Malaka doesn't feel like she fits in when she visits her dad for her annual summer vacation abroad she sticks out in Egypt and doesn't look anything like her fair-haired half siblings. But she adapts. She learns that Nirvana isn't as cool as Nancy Ajram* that there's nothing better than a Fanta and a melon-mint hookah* and that her new stepmother* Hala* isn't so different from Malaka herself.
