Four Eids and a Funeral by Adiba Jaigirdar, Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
While I mostly enjoyed this, I do feel like it fell short in some ways. There were so many things that happened, so many BIG things that I feel like could have been much more fleshed out. Each main character was going through so much, but in the end it felt like I was left wondering about a lot. I also felt that the solution to the issue with Said's sister could have been handled more thoughtfully. She literally destroyed an entire friendship and was almost instantly forgiven. Teenager or not, it just felt like she should have had much more discourse with Said and Tiwa to really make it feel like she was being held accountable for her actions. That being said, this book did have quite a few bright spots. I thought the shared custody of the cat was so cute and I also loved how things ended with Said's parents!

I strongly dislike the MC's and I was simply not enjoying this story.
