Euphoria vibes but make it Indigenous and less erotic?
Solid but did not blow me away. Part 2 was great, part 1 was okay. It was nice to keep following Orange's characters from There There, I can't help but feel like this would have been better as two separate books.
I think Orange shines the most to me when his characters are interacting with each other so this felt like an extension of pt 3 of There There, which was my favourite bit. Big fan of Orvil, Lony and Loother.

I love the way he does the thought processes of his characters they all feel so real and you can really understand why they do what they do. I wish I remembered more from There There before reading this but it's interesting to move from an exploration of place to exploration of addiction. I really liked Lony and Loothers chapters.
