How do you like it so far??! I love Trevor ❤️

I love Trevor too. But to be honest, I didnt expect much of this book when I started it. I was looking for something light and funny, a quick read. And though it did serve this purpose, there’s a lot more to this book. It covers some very serious social, racial and political issues. I learned a lot from it especially about South Africa and how it is to grow up in this country under apartheid. I fell in love with both young Trevor and his heroin mom. The style is very engaging too. Thumbs up!
