I love this book. It's enticing and fun, while being inspiring and informative. The storyline is so well done, the layers of teh story and characters is great. I cannot recommend this book enough, it's a new classic.

I don’t know why this is considered YA. I would be hesitant to give it to anyone under 16. Check CWs throughly. That said,

This book (and the audiobook narration) was great. The look into life on the reservation, good and bad, was well done. It’s about drugs in the indigenous community but nothing is black and white. Talented writing and characters with solid motivations and believable flaws.

I am obsessed with this book. It’s so so good. The storytelling. The learning of Ojibwe culture. The fast paced last parts of the book. So good.

Man, what a great read. The story was incredible, and I found myself thinking about it throughout the day. Also a nice introduction to indigenous culture of the Great Lakes region, with some thought provoking commentary on the history and remnants of racism and oppression of native peoples. It’s YA, but so sophisticated and well-done. Would love to read more by this author.
