There are a few things that I really liked about the book and that show great promise:
-the use of a mixed race heroine who plays football in a mens football team
-I loved the mix of cultures that the book presents as we don't see this often, I definitely have students that would really gel with this representation.
-I like that the book presents the ignorance of the British people Jakarta/Yogyakarta in hope that readers won't make this ignorant mistake.
- I like that there are hints of what a toxic relationship looks like for young people and how they can avoid it [though this could be voiced more directly].
-There are flashes of sophisticated prose
I couldn't find much about the author online, they don't seem to have too much of a presence online and I would like to know the author better. Perhaps this is because the author is young and it's for safeguarding reasons.
I'd like to see the book edited a little more, a few spelling errors but that's the role of the editor/publisher not the author. I get the impression this is a first attempt at publishing a novel for the author, there is a lot of promise for further stories and narratives. It's great to think that young people are out there drafting and publishing stories and novels!
