It Won't Always Be Like This

I wasn't expecting this graphic memoir to be such a punch in the gut. Wow.
Filipino-Egyptian-American author Malaka Gharib opens up about her childhood while also contemplating identity, belonging and more in this raw and moving account. I loved her relationship and unexpected bond with Hala; the two women are more alike than we initially realise especially when it comes to the loneliness and isolation they feel in their respective lives.
I got really angry at a scene and loved how Malaka stood up for her family. Her spirit and voice shine through the pages as she navigates the ups, down and complexities of adolescence, family and life.
A poignant and beautiful read that hit me right in the feels!
