Four Eids and a Funeral
Ex-best friends must work together in this romantic story of rekindling and rebuilding
When Said Hossain's favorite hometown librarian dies, he must return from boarding school for her funeral and for the summer. Too bad being home makes it a lot harder to avoid facing his ex-best friend, Tiwa Olatunji, or facing the daunting task of telling his Bangladeshi parents that he would rather be an artist than a doctor. Tiwa doesn't understand what made Said start ignoring her, but it's probably that fancy boarding school of his. Though he's unexpectedly home for the summer, she's determined to take a page from him and pretend he doesn't exist. Besides, she has more than enough going on, between grieving her favorite librarian and her broken family while helping her mother throw the upcoming Eid celebration at the Islamic Center--a place that means so much to Tiwa. But when the center accidentally catches fire, the mayor plans to demolish it entirely. Tiwa and Said will need to put their feelings aside if they're going to get the mayor to change his mind. Will all their efforts be enough to save the Islamic Center, save Eid, and maybe even save their relationship?Format:Hardcover

4 Stars for Laddoo
Published by thebookcryptid , 4 months ago
4 stars for my boy Laddoo!
Everything else tho? This miscommunication trope could have been an email, or a text, you know, for the youth, the conflict didn't feel realistic is what I'm saying. Also not to be that guy but I'm 30 and grumpy so I will. I feel 99.99% positive if something is left in someone's will to people who are 16/17, then their legal guardians/parents need to be there and these kids can't sign any legal documents or contracts without a parent present.
I don't like YA that much but I thought this was really funny and well written, just not my personal favorite genre. I'm too old and my solution to everything is just "talk to each other PLEASE".
