|summary=Stunning dual narrative with two lead characters who have great voices and excellent chemistry between them. Huge recommendation. Naima B Robert popped into Bookbag Towers to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Naima B Robert|chat to us]].
}}
Sixteen-year-old Dwayne is a badman – a wannabe rapper who hangs around with other gang members and doesn't see any future in education. Misha, high-flying university-bound daughter of a local councillor, should have nothing in common with him, but when they meet there's an undeniable attraction, and they start to date in secret. Misha makes Dwayne want to be a better person – but with his old life tempting him back at every turn, can he make a break from it, or will he be drawn back in?
For other stunning dual narratives. there are several excellent recent YA contemporaries to choose from. I'd suggest [[Skin Deep by Laura Jarratt]] as the pick of the bunch, closely followed by [[Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley]] and [[Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry]].
