4.5
I tend to go for lighthearted and cheesy romances, and I'm always rooting for a happy ending. So for me to pick a book that from the book description alone, I could tell it wasn't going to be my usual cheesy and happy queer romances. Instead, I was taken to a heartwrenching story filled with grief, death, and love.
This book was exactly what I expected, which is always a good thing, and while it surprised me in a few parts, it didn't surprise me enough for 5 stars. I would still love to read more from this author, as they have a way of not just words, but take off through the journey of a biracial Native girl and her loss. I also sometimes felt the characters didn't feel strong for me, especially those who weren't Phil and Winifred. I would have loved to get more depth from the supporting characters, especially the antagonistic ones like Penny. Hated her guts, but sometimes felt the way she was described harbored some internalized misogyny. Had the characters felt more real to me, this would have been a 5 stars book for sure.
