This book should be read by everyone who can stomach the triggers. Getting perspectives from Native Americans who don’t live on reservations is SO important when society acts like they don’t exist. The plot is heartbreaking, but highlights the centuries-old story of how non-natives continue to exploit native land, money, and resources.

A Native version of Crash, where the story follows multiple people, who at first glance, don't seem connected but by about the 50% mark you've figured it out.

A majority of the action comes at the last 15% of the book, it was an interesting take on the Indigenous experience and I like that it mostly highlighted urban Natives who are normally forgotten in contemporary Native media.

Just wish the ending was less ambiguous.
