520    "Based on her popular Instagram @Hatecopy and her 
       experience in a South Asian immigrant family, artist Maria
       Qamar has created a humorous, illustrated "survival guide"
       to deal with overbearing "Aunties," whether they're family
       members, annoying neighbors, or just some random ladies 
       throwing black magic your way.  We've all experienced 
       interference from our Aunties--they are at family parties 
       and friendly get-togethers, finding ways to make your life
       difficult, trying to get you to marry their sons, and 
       telling you to lose weight while simultaneously feeding 
       you a second dinner--and it has stunted our social growth 
       and embarrassed us in front of our friends and cool 
       cousins for years.  This tongue-in-cheek guide is full of 
       advice designed to help you manage Aunty meddling and 
       encourages you to pursue your passions--from someone who 
       has been through it all. Qamar confesses to throwing 
       sweatshirts over crop-tops to get out of the house without
       being questioned, hiding her boyfriend in a closet, and 
       enduring overbearing parents endless pressuring her to 
       become a doctor, lawyer, or engineer.  Holding onto your 
       cultural identity is tough. Always interfering Aunties 
       make it even harder. But ultimately, Aunties keep our 
       lives interesting. As an Aunty-survivor and a woman who 
       has lived the cross-cultural experience, Qamar defied the 
       advice of her aunties almost every step of the way, and 
       she is here to remind you: Trust No Aunty"--|cProvided by
