Books like Nukkin Ya

I have read Deadly Unna so many times - to many classes who have all enjoyed. For some reason I never thought about reading this, the sequel until this now. It was a great read. Blacky is a really likeable character. But I think what is best is that all the relationships shown here are complicated - there isn't any neatness in what is going on and that is really important in YA writing and doesn't always happen. The writing seems very real and true to life for me, and I'm sure it resonates with many other people who have grown up in that time and were either living in a rural community and/or were 'povo'. Highly recommended.
