so...this was excellent.
it had so much to say about america, about family, about addiction, about being native, about cultural identity, and it did it all in such beautiful language and so precisely.
there were parts of this where it lost me, and there was one perspective i don't think added more than it took away, and if anything this was maybe too little a sequel to the first book, but the last sentences of this brought tears to my eyes.
striking.
bottom line: one of those books where you're like, wow, that's a good title, and then every sentence is as good.

pre-review
"i can't wait to read this book" -girl who is waiting to read it
update: i should not have waited.
(4.5 / review to come / thanks to the publisher for the e-arc)

If Emma gives it four stars, I'll read it. That's the rule.
I want to know which perspective you didn’t like!!
Just got it from the library and looking forward to reading it now. My 4th read in the Booker Longlist
