Honestly just wow. I loved the structure of the book, flipping between characters and learning how they all link together over the course of the book culminating in one event that they’re all at. Orange tells so many stories detailing aspects of the Native experience so beautifully and deeply it’s mesmerizing. The end of this book blew me away and was so heart wrenching I will be thinking about it for a long time.
