More About You Don't Have to Live Like This
This book had so much potential and fell completely flat. None of the characters developed at all and the protagonist was a numbskull.

Strong racism, mixed with poverty and relationships made it quite a topical book to read! Gave it 3 mainly because it seemed a bit long.
