It was oddly beautiful despite the subject material. I wish we learned more about what happened to Rita after all she went through. It felt like the story was building up to this moment and then it was over and I didn't feel fulfilled.

I did love the Indigenous representation.

I enjoyed reading this book. I felt the pacing was enough to keep me interested and I loved reading about the cultural inclusion with the main character being a Navajo woman.

Picked this up on a whim and it became one of my favorite books ever. As a photographer I love how much that was an aspect of the story and of the central character. I really enjoyed Emerson’s writing style, and found that the book had some very poignant things to say about life, loss, grief and death.

I found the relationship between Rita and her Grandmother to be very touching and relatable. I also enjoyed the way the book explored Native American culture and some of the good and bad things about life on a reservation in today’s time. A very good book. Excited to see the author’s future work.
