Excellent writing and performance

What an incredible debut by Femi Fadugba and one of the best audiobook performances I’ve ever listened to. The storyline, the twists and turns even the maths kept me engaged from start to finish. I loved the contemporary references intertwined with the story - brilliantly written and definitely worthy of film or mini series adaptation!! Highly recommend!
