I really loved this. The poetry was beautiful as was the growth seen in most of the characters. I’ll be reading Dean Atta again!

The discussion of queerness within this book is the only thing I truly understood as the person I am. I am not a black male, and I will never try to speak for one. This was such a gorgeous book. Goosebumps and chills at multiple points. A quick easy read, that covers such important topics and creates characters that, though you didn’t spend much time with them, you grow to appreciate and care for.
