I just didn’t get this book. I think it was supposed to be a coming of age style book but that was inaccurately depicted.
I saw the author at a book event so I bought his book as he was a great speaker but this fell very flat.
There was poor character development, I wasn’t a fan of the writing style or the main character and I think the themes of being on-white in the UK and the pressures that come with that weren’t explored fully.
It was a fast paced easy read with big font but I definitely expected more.
