Àbíké-Íyímídé, Faridah: Four Eids and a Funeral

Said Hossain hates Tiwa Olatunji. And Tiwa would happily never see Said again in her life. Growing up, the two were inseparable, but they have barely spoken since the incident many Eids ago and both of them would like to keep it that way. But when Said comes home for a funeral and the town's Islamic Centre burns down on the same day, they have to face each other again and sparks fly. Both of them want to see the Islamic Centre rebuilt. For Tiwa, it represents the local Muslim community that she loves and a way to keep her fractured family together. For Said, it's an opportunity to build his portfolio for his secret application to art school, where he hopes that he'll be able to pursue his dreams instead of the rigid path his parents want him to follow.Working with your sworn enemy is never easy, but as Said and Tiwa start fundraising together, they fall back into their old sarcastic banter and the feelings they thought they'd buried come rushing back. But when the animosities of Eids past begin to resurface, will they be able to put their differences aside for the sake of their community?
