The Bricks That Built the Houses by Kate Tempest

The Bricks That Built the Houses tells the intimate story of Becky, Harry, and Leon, three friends on the cusp of escaping London, their home that lives within their bones. With a luggage full of stolen cash and a fourth-hand Ford, the trio are tangled in a mess of impulses and loyalties; loyalties to the town that built them, to their families, and to each other. Kate Tempest captures the true feelings of working young people and how we become ourselves through experience outside of our comfort zones.
