There's a certain genre of historical fiction where it hits all these big themes in a way that may or may not be plausible. So, here we have an extremely diverse group of young people heading west on the Oregon Trail. Oh, and two girls are pretending to be boys in order to escape murder chargers. There is action and adventure romance and some outlaws and well. . . you get the idea.
Nothing about this should have worked, and yet it kinda did. I enjoyed Sammy's Chinese perspective. And at least everyone realized that this whole love across racial lines wasn't easy. It ended very tidily, but I can live with it since I liked the characters so much.
