Category : Crime
Languages : en

Book Description
From a young age Chyna had it tough, growing up in part of the city where gangland violence is so common that the death of a teenager goes unreported, and lives are shaped by poverty and neglect. With trouble at home and beefs at school, Chyna and her best friend, along with their group of girls, took control of their lives and formed their own gang. They called it Nothing 2 Lose. Soon Chyna was caught up in a world of shanks and endz, burgling homes and taking part in gang fights in broad daylight. The risks of arrest and beatings were always present but so were the rewards of being part of a tight fam that looked out for each other. Chyna had access to p's, liquor, draws and expensive ice. And protection. Fights with rival gangs and tiefing the latest phones were part of daily life. As her fam rolled through South London, smoking weed and drinking vodka before school, they felt invincible. No one could stop them. But the deeper Chyna and got in with her fam, the darker her world became. Life was an endless routine of hustling and being chased by the police, living under the constant threat of kidnap and violence. Chyna knew she had to leave N2L. But getting out was going to be the hardest thing she had ever done. Bold and brash, funny and shocking, this is the story of what it means to be young and lost in Britain today. It reveals a world that is out of sight, out of hope and out of control.
