Four Eids and a Funeral had so much potential, and while I enjoyed many aspects of the book, it fell a little short of my expectations. I liked both of the main characters—Faridah and Adiba did a great job crafting them to be relatable and often funny. The humor throughout the story brought a lightness that I appreciated. 

However, my biggest issue with the book was how the story itself felt like a series of disjointed events. While things would happen, the consequences or emotional impacts of those moments often felt glossed over. It was like moving from one scene to the next without fully exploring the ripple effects of the previous one. This made the pacing feel a bit off, as if the plot lacked a deeper sense of connection and flow. 

Despite this, I did enjoy reading it. There were moments when the cultural representation shined, and I could see the unique voices of both authors coming through. Four Eids and a Funeral is an enjoyable read with great humor, but it left me wishing for a more tightly woven story. I would recommend it to readers looking for something light and relatable, but with the caveat that the plot might sometimes feel a bit uneven.
