- Really not a fan of the writing;
- One-dimensional characters;
- Someone was raped but it was never mentioned again??? Everyone just kinda went on with it like it’s not a big deal;
- Was it really necessary to write about horse sex and how they felt afterwards?.. yikes.

I enjoyed how the many different threads of this story worked together, and I enjoyed most of the characters. It was very interesting to see the different characters' perspectives on happenings based on real events. I listened to the audiobook, narrated by the author, and that was a pleasant experience. It is slice of life with a lot of dark parts, but also a lot of light and hope, with bio families, found families, and communities standing together.
