TEENAGE KICKS by JAX WARD
❤️A Heartwarming Northern Grit Story❤️
This was a fast-paced story that kept me engaged until the very end. I loved the music references, all of which I knew from my younger days. I also loved the three dimensional characters full of Northern working-class grit. This story made me laugh and cry, I highly recommend it.
