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.
