Who doesn’t love a good rom-com? Reinventing Four Weddings and a Funeral, Adiba Jaigirdar and Faridah Abikelyimide wrote the sweet YA rom-com, Four Eids and a Funeral. Starting with the funeral of their beloved local librarian, both Tiwa and Said have do deal with loss, growing up, making hard choices, fighting for what’s right, and love, of course. Both characters’ individual POV were wonderfully captured with very distinct viewpoints. Once you begin reading, it’s hard not to cheer for these two!
