I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading more from this author and this character.  There was enough social commentary/context for me to respect the characters’ development but it wasn’t heavy handed. It was organic. Maybe reminded me a little bit of Sherman Alexie in that way. I am giving it a four because I really enjoyed it and am enthusiastically recommending it.
