Reading this during Eid madr me feel so fuzzy inside. It came at a perfect time, when Eid wasn't going to be celebrated as it was going to usually be. And a year later, here I am reading it. It was a beautiful collection. Despite being far from the target audience I enjoyed it thoroughly and probably will read it next Eid. It had surprised me with its range of diversity of Muslim stories. Usually with anthologies, it's very easy to pick my favourite stories as I don't usually like every story in one. In this case, I can't choose. I loved them all. Thank you the editors and contributors for making this happen. It added so much barakat to my 2021 eid.
