Title: Does my Head Look Big in This?

Summary: Sixteen-year-old Amal makes the decision to start wearing the hijab full-time and everyone has a reaction. Her parents, her teachers, her friends, people on the street. But she stands by her decision to embrace her faith and all that it is, even if it does make her a little different from everyone else.
Can she handle the taunts of "towel head," the prejudice of her classmates, and still attract the cutest boy in school? Brilliantly funny and poignant, Randa Abdel-Fattah's debut novel will strike a chord in all teenage readers, no matter what their beliefs.
My Thoughts: This is the type of book I enjoyed but not loved. There was nothing wrong with it but it just seemed a little happy. What I mean by that is that there was no real badness and everything went according to plan. The characters were totally lovable and were the highlight of the story. I don't have many other thoughts on this book except that it was good enough to read but not good enough to re-read.
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
