5.0

The first book I’ve ever read in verse, that I recall, and I must say the writing is absolutely impeccable. I loved this. This is what I messaged my friends after finishing it:
“Also final verdict on Toffee (the book I was reading) DEFINITELY recommend. It deals with some really heavy content, but it is so well balanced with humour and hope and love that I didn’t need to stop and put it down and step away at all throughout, the way I normally do when reading emotionally heavy material. So freakin’ good. And it handles the heavy content really well too! It felt really honest, and genuine, and not rushed over or brushed past“
