Erdrich has been on my list of author's to read for a long time, and I regret holding off for so long. But, this felt like a great entry point. The characters, even when we only got brief glimpses, felt realistic and complex. At times I loathed Winnie, Kismet, Gary, Crystal, etc. equally, and at times I felt for them or even rooted for them. This was like a love letter to rural towns and the residents, and a celebration of being a teenager and all the challenges it brings.
