When Ilyas meets kindred spirit, Kelly, who offers to help develop the story, things start to finally go his way. I loved the very stark contrast between the rough and unmerciful gang, and the kind and hilarious group who believe in him and his stories.She is a smart, talented young girl who also goes through a lot in the book and finds her own self and strength too. They feel glad about their unexpected reunion, but the mood gets tense as they rekindle old yet not-so-fond memories.

The fear he feels felt so real and it made me really root for him because it takes strength to stand up and fight for what’s right. He’s compensating for something, trying to fit in, or internalizing the nastiest ills of society for sure. Bravely tackling issues such as revenge porn and gang affiliation whilst shedding light on British-Pakistani culture and life in a South London school, Muhammad Khan uses the protagonist's love of comic books and art to weave a compelling narrative that many teenagers will identify with and hopefully learn from.
