A well written book, insightful into the community of the Ends in Bristol. It focuses on issues relating to family pressures, religious pressures, and the struggle to tie the conflicting sides together. It's a good exploration of the gang violence in the Ends, as well as the misconceptions commonly held by those outside of the community. The take away from this book is that love overpowers all, and that through it you can achieve dreams in ways you couldn't imagine. It also ends on the sombre note of Cuba succumbing to the life that Sayon could escape from.

A beautiful story.
I had an immersive experience with this book, the characters in the story resonated so strongly with the people I know in real life.
As I was reading I could see everything as if it was a movie. It’s going to play on my mind for a while.
Moses McKenzie now why did you end Cuba’s story like that. Whyyyyyyy?
