Where were you when Keisha the Sket first broke the internet?

Keisha is a girl from the ends, sharp, feisty and ambitious; she's been labelled 'top sket' but she's making it work. When childhood crush and long-time admirer, Ricardo, finally wins her over, Keisha has it all: power, a love life and the chance for stability. But trauma comes knocking and with it a whirlwind of choices that will define what kind of a woman she truly wants to be.

Told with the heart and soul of the inner city, with an unforgettable heroine, KEISHA THE SKET is a revelation of the true, raw, arousing and tender core of British youth culture.

British answer to Gossip Girl.

Keisha the Sket has united a nation and rebirthed a generation of readers who were gripped by the tale of a 'top sket'.

Keisha The Sket feels like an old friend.

A raw portrayal of teenage lust.

A cultural phenomenon.

I'm not sure if we knew it at the time, but KTS was decolonising and demystifying literature for a generation.

Love this. Soo nostalgic

Nadia rose is the perfect narrator too, if you grew up in London you will love this BUT I can't get beyond the fake accent of the second reader - Nadia or someone similar should re-record the second part please.
