Following two teens as they navigate their grief for the people, relationships and places they've lost, Four Eids and a Funeral is an emotional, witty and warmhearted rom-com that highlights familial, platonic and romantic love in equal measures. This is a gift for all the slow burn, friends-to-enemies-to lovers fans out there (myself included). Faridah and Adiba are truly a dream YA writing team and their fabulous humour and ability to approach 'tough' topics with nuance and care shined throughout this book. I devoured this in one day and cannot wait to read whatever this brilliant pair write next.
