I really love this book. It was short straight to the point and emotional. Even tho the book isn’t plot driven I was hooked into the story. The characters were interesting not flat. I do have a critique about the diversity. It is set in the 70s but it was published in 2012 so keep that in mind. They were NO LGBTQ Characters. They were native people and it shows their struggles as those. But still the author makes the parents of one of the native people alcoholics. And they were racial slurs used. I’m not native, but it seemed kinda of to me. I still like the story and the way it shows the struggles of teenagers, wich arg still relevant today.
