I picked up this book whilst on holiday and I was rather disappointed. Even if the book was longer and the storyline and characters developed more, I still don't think I would really enjoy this book.
I found the characters to have little to no personality or depth and I just felt the 'street' language was trying too hard and did not read as authentic. I do this this book is much more suitable for younger readers compared to adults and young adults. However, if written from a different perspective with a bit more character and plot development, it could be a different, better and more impactful story.
