The Summer of Bitter and Sweet
by Jen Ferguson
TRIGGER WARNING: rape, hate crimes, racism, crimes against indigenous peoples, violence towards indigenous women, stalking
Oh my goodness, where to begin? This book was in equal parts phenomenal and heavy. The audience joins Lou, a Métis girl living in Canada, on that vital last summer before college. She's working with her best friend, Florence, her childhood friend who vanished 3 years ago, King, and her recent ex, Wyatt, at her uncle's ice cream shop when she is contacted by her recently released from prison birth father. From there the summer dissolves into secrets and anxiety, only to be salvaged when everyone is honest and open about what is going on. Stunning writing, but would recommend having a fluffy read lined up to decompress after.
