This is a lovely, affirming collection of short stories about different Muslim characters celebrating Eid. Each story focuses on a new character, but they all encompass themes of friendship, family, love, and togetherness. There are messages of hope, self-acceptance, and growth woven into the collection and I really enjoyed reading it on audio.
