This book hits hard. I really felt the bright depiction of how Tobi had to juggle between dreams and reality. It is uncivilized, sincere, and draws you in at the beginning. I laughed and thought about my high school years. It is a real gem.

The coming-of-age portrayed by R.J. King in the book is fresh. The characters are real, as friends you would like to have. It has got that gritty, relatable feel in the writing that causes you to turn the pages. You will experience all the emotions. It is like a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Highly recommended!

In this book, R.J. King takes an insight into human life. The fact that he merges reality and philosophy is harsh and close to the reader. I find his analysis of identity and the contrasting layers of who we are to be very powerful to me. It is a philosophical travel that is left behind by the reader.

This book stands out in an extraordinary way. The characters struggle with deep philosophical issues of life and recollection, and their plight is experienced with urgency. The writing is powerful, engaging the reader in their lives, and making them reflect on themselves. I was left to speculate on its implications for some time after finishing it.

J. King depicts the turbulence of life in a unique way. His understanding of our personal vision of the world and self is chilling and eye-opening. It reminds me of a mirror that reflects personal doubts and fears, and I could not put the book down till the conclusion. Highly recommended.
