Jaq, A Top Boy Story

AN IRISH TIMES FICTION BOOK TO LOOK OUT FORI m going to tell you everything. I m gonna tell you the whole story. 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 . . .
