i think the rating of this might suffer from the fact that i read such an amazing memoir right before and this is lackluster in comparison. elliott’s life is definitely memoir-worthy and she also many correct opinions about the world. however, i didn’t feel like there was great flow or organization to this book. i would have preferred more focus on her childhood and let the message behind her rants and opinions shine through there. maybe it’s just because i’ve read quite a few indigenous novels now, but the (very accurate) rants about the effects of colonialism and capitalism were kind of boring bc i already agree with all that and have heard it before. i much more like when she delves into how colonialism and capitalism directly affect her life on a personal level.

Honest, raw, insightful. These essays cover topics of colonialiam, intergenerational trauma, poverty, racism, violence, mental health, love, representation, and more, from the author's Indigenous experience. A must read.
