#BookReview: The Upper World (The Upper World #1) by Femi Fadugba

Synopsis: Esso is running out of time and into trouble. After he is accidentally caught up in a gang war, he is haunted by a vision of a bullet fired in an alleyway with devastating consequences.

A generation later, fifteen-year-old football prodigy Rhia is desperately searching for answers—and a catastrophic moment from the past holds the key to understanding the parents she never got to meet.

Whether on the roads of South London or in the mysterious Upper World, Esso and Rhia''s fates must collide.

And when they do, a race against the clock will become a race against time itself...

My Review: After starting this one I ended up skimming huge parts of it.  I didn't mesh with the story or the characters at all and I ended up skipping to the end to see what happened.
