It’s hard to put in to words how touching this book is. Her characters are relatable, real and have a depth to them I haven’t ever experienced in a book before. The story is incredible and unexpected, and I will be thinking about it for a long long time.

Genuinely the best book I have ever read. For sure hard to get through especially in the beginning, but once you get through the half way point it’s easy sailing (no pun intended). This book made me cry, made me think about myself so differently, and I just really connected with the characters and the writing. I literally couldn‘t read anything for like a week after because I was still thinking about it.

Pretty sure a lot of people have ready this one but I started it 2 weeks ago after it being in my wishlist for over 2 years and omg i cannot believe a book like this exists. I have never underlined a book as much as I have with this one

it’s my favourite book ever. i read it every summer and have a look at my favourite paragraphs from time and time and it never fails to get to me. it’s written in second person. it’s short, sharp and sweet. it’s really lyrical and beautifully investigates love, South London and the complexities of being Black.
