A beautiful book that packs a lot of brilliance into such a small package. The use of second person vacillated between unique and annoying for me but as a South-East London native this story felt so real and perfectly portrayed the struggle of being so careful not to do the wrong thing that you’re inadvertently doing the wrong thing.
