Finally black authors are being published. In the US black entertainment is mainstream...hopefully the UK will catch up

Already started reading this! Bringing back so many memories of being young at that time and also how we used to text/type!

I know, its like a whole new language. The author is clearly talented...she now teaches African politics at a university.....

It's an amazing work. Thanks for posting about it.

I wonder if, in years to come, it will become a set work of some kind, like Catcher in the Rye?

I've just downloaded it and am finding it vivid and enriching. I learned of it from the BBC article.

Well done to her, doing amazing things with her life.
However, I couldn't read it if the whole book was in text slang. I've never text like that, that small extract took me ages to decipher lol.

Omg, I remember this from when I was young.

Me and my cousin shared the characters names.

@jobseekee19 do you mean role play? Which character did you identify with?

No, we had the same names as two of the characters, my cousin being called Keisha.
