Sabrina has her life planned out – she’s going to
pass her A levels and go to university. But then she meets Jalaal,
a boy trapped on the wrong path, desperate for a way out.
An English Jamaican girl and a Somali Muslim boy being together
isn’t straightforward, with cultural expectations, disapproving
family and religious differences to overcome.
But is that the struggle you face when you fall in love on sight?
The outstanding debut novel from the Lime New Storyteller
2023 award winner, Asli Jensen.
An uplifting contemporary YA romance, which draws on
the author’s experience of growing up in inner-city London.
A modern dual narrative Romeo-and-Juliet story, perfect
for fans of Danielle Jawando and Candice Carty-Williams.
Explores themes of family, culture, friendship, redemption,
class, faith and different forms of love in a fresh and authentic
style, which will resonate universally.
