A beautifully emotional story. I really enjoyed the coming of age aspect and how it was mainly told from Leni's pov. I loved the community aspect and the wild landscape of Alaska. It is slow paced, but as it is mostly character focused that worked for the story. Some of the side characters and their interactions fell a little flat for me. But I thought the family dynamic and emotions were done really well.
