It is hooking, emotional and romantic. Love love love love love it! I read this when I was ten but after reading it I definitely thought you should be in secondary school before reading it! But it is great if you are old enough and I would definitely recommend it! X Lingo:)

A very touching book, although I would definitely not recommend this book to anybody under the age of 13. But an excellent book for teenagers and young adults

Amazing sequel to Noughts and Crosses. I love how Malorie put the Crosses in power to retell the discrimination between black and white people.
