About this listen

I'm gonna tell you the whole story. I'm going to tell you everything.

Sometimes all it takes is a single message. Maybe it's bad, like a rival top boy's been switched off. Or maybe it's good, like an opportunity you never thought you'd get. But opportunities mean risks, and debts, and you never want to owe anyone anything.

Jaq's worked hard on the road since she was fourteen, bringing in money to keep her broken family afloat. Now she's built a good life near the top of the Summerhouse crew, with a beautiful home she shares with her girlfriend Becks and her heavily pregnant older sister Lauryn.

But messages are coming in - good and bad - and Jaq has to make a choice: step back from the road and start a life she's never even considered. Or seize her opportunities and risk everything for life-changing money. Either way, Jaq will make enemies. And those enemies aren't going to let her go easily...

I rarely leave reviews but have to say that Saffron Coomber does a brilliant job here - perfectly suited to the main character so that she takes you right back into the Top Boy world from Jaq’s perspective, but also she brings the other characters to life, giving each one their own distinctiveness. The story isn’t new but it’s strong and fleshes out some of the major events from the later series. Really good.

Fantastic narration

I’m a big fan of TopBoy and Jaq was my favourite character. I was hoping to see how her life moved on after the Netflix shows.
Most of the this book is what we already know and the highlights of the stuff so far from her side.
Just chucks in a couple of new characters the TopBoy stuff didn’t show but nothing interesting..
Just left me not feeling I learned much

Wishing I learned more
