I usually find short story collections difficult to get in to, but because there are nods to the other stories in the book, I found this one slightly easier. I really liked Jason Reynolds' writing style - I thought it was surprisingly emotional, pleasantly funny, and really suspenseful at times. I'm not sure I would read it again, but I'm probably not the target audience! I definitely think it deserves its place on our Y7 Top 20, though, and I would recommend it to readers who want something light-hearted.
