4.5

The book is quite dark, and features themes of betrayal, drugs, and sexual assault. It’s also hopeful with strong community themes! Overall, it was quite complicated and I enjoyed it - the twists were somewhat predictable but the writing was compelling. I also appreciated the strong incorporation of Anishinaabe culture and the Great Lakes region. I could’ve done without the romance plot line, but as another commenter pointed out it’s YA and a younger audience probably likes it more than I do - I thought the themes stood up on their own without it. I did appreciate that

they went their own ways at the end and didn’t end up together just for the heck of it.

Very good book would definitely read again even though the page length is almost 500 pages. I feel as though this is the perfect length for the book and any shorter would have been a disservice. Very good book made me emotional love this book would definitely reread
