Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
I couldn't finish this book, because I have become busy so I don't have much time to read. And I can't renew the book cos it's reserved for someone else 😭😭😭

This book really shows you the events of growing up and issues you encounter on the journey. I like that some of the chapters weren't really actual chapters, it added personality into the book.

Some parts of the book were great, but it also lost me a couple of times.

The book was a quick read, it went into detail about the authors mind like feelings and you could see their thinking process.  But I felt also I couldn't connect with the storyline

Although the chapters are short, the book itself is slow...it took me a lot longer to read compared to other books; feel like cos of this, the book dragged sometimes.

Nevertheless, I did enjoy the book, the characters development and humour. I could relate to the main characters.

I liked this book and the humour. However I did feel some poems, were okay whilst others were amazing.  The ones at the beginning, had me hooked.

I really enjoyed this book, the chemistry between the characters and the storyline. I do think though it didn't need to be a 400 page book, I think it made some parts long winded.

The writing layout was different to all the books I have read, the story told and narrated from all the characters; this also made it a easy flowing read.  

It touched on topics like substance abuse, love and conflict..and I could relate to somethings.
