IT WONT ALWAYS BE LIKE THIS GN

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.
