Rife: Twenty-One Stories from Britain's Youth by Nikesh Shukla, Sammy Jones
4.0
OVERALL RATING: 8.1/10 (you can find the ratings for each essay at the end of the review)
I really enjoyed this collection of essays and the issues explored, from mental health issues and the rental problems the people are facing now in the UK, to religion, diversity, feeling alone and inadequate, sexism, politics and the gap between the youth and the elderly. I learnt a lot from this and although I enjoyed some essays more than others, I believe there is something for every type of reader in this collection.
