Malaka Gharib
In the end, here’s what he wrote: “Malaka Gharib recounts her teenage memories with an open heart and an eye for detail. ‘It Won’t Always Be Like This’ is her best work yet. I wish everyone could write (and draw) about their lives with this much honesty, specificity, and warmth.” https://t.co/F9hs2WbEJs
