My semi-autobiographical memoir, Mixed Feelings, is out everywhere today.
A ten (!) year journey, starting out as Facebook posts, evolving into a collection of essays, and culminating in a graphic novel series I’m deeply proud of, made possible with the greatest creative partners, my illustrator @shadiaminart and my editor @meganrpeace .
Thank you for purchasing a copy. And thank you for supporting mixed kids feeling seen. It means the world to me.

Middle school is tough, but drama club might be the bright spot Sara has been searching for. 🎭 The cast list is out and the stakes feel real. Maybe this is her chance to step into the spotlight? ⭐️
📚 Mixed Feelings: A Graphic Novel by @itssaraamini
Get in the mix with a funny, feel-good graphic novel that’s perfect for fans of The New Girl and Miss Quinces. The first day of middle school is off to a hairy start for Sara, until she finds a place to be herself in the drama club. Has Sara finally found a place to fit in? Or will she instead find herself buried under her growing leg hair and off-stage friendship drama? Navigating life as a mixed-race girl has never been more hilarious or heartfelt, with family, friendship, and fuzz all at the forefront of this laugh-out-loud and painfully relatable middle-school memoir.
A copy of the book will come with a custom note from Sara (author) and some fun 1999-2000s swag!!

Somewhere in Heaven she and Fred Willard are dancing to Midnight at the Oasis. I’d always hoped to meet her and tell her how much I loved her. ❣️ RIP Catherine the Great.
