‘Gemma Weekes is a name to watch. Written in a zingy, street-smart prose, Love Me is a bitter-sweet coming-of-age fable that crackles with reflections on race, migration and music. …Old Brooklyn , with its fenced-in yards and crumbling brownstones, is superbly evoked by Weekes, who writes in a hip-hop flow of words, lifting them from the street into a kind of poetry…Love Me is quirkily conversational in tone and a wonderfully assured debut. For good or ill, black West Indian culture is youth culture in London today; and Love Me, humorous and immensely warm, belongs to an exciting, hip-hop savvy, cross-cultural genre of British fiction.’

The Independent


Singer-poet Weekes' fresh take on modern love hits you where you feel it most - and the narrative and linguistic skills don't let up until you reluctantly reach the final page.'

The Telegraph


'...the dialogue-heavy language is powered by an energy that brings the youthful characters into sharp focus...'
