Yvette

by Urielle Klein-Mekongo

Overview

“I see the way that butters-fat-lipped-troll-Patrice looks at him, now she's the kinda lighty that finks she's too nice.”

Evie is thirteen and lives in Neasden with her Mum. She wants to tell us about something… her crush on Lewis, trying to be a woman, friends, virginity, garage remixes, Hello Kitty underwear… an 'Uncle' lurking in the corner of her story.

She wants to make us laugh, she's pretty good at it. She wants to tell us something, but she daren't let it out.
