This is a great book. It is just one of those books you identify with instantly and you just can't put down after. As a person that has been labeled a coconut; this book made me feel better because now I know I'm not alone in the world. The fact that it was written by a young person makes it all the more better.
Reviewed by Nonqawuse -
The book is agood choice for all the teenagers that are at a stage where they are still trying to find themselves and their identities. However I think even those in primary school from grade 6 could easily read the book. For me personally it didn't live up to the hype that was created all around it. The book is trying to capture the difficulties that teenagers experience post-apartheid with all these talks of intergration, but for me personally it doesn't quite get there. This is my opinion, others are free to differ.
