This book was absolutely incredible. I'm usually a fantasy reader but I was SO invested in this story. 

Overall: 5⭐️

Romance: 5💕 I will say that I think people who are not used to reading true YA might be disappointed at the end of the love story part of this book but I felt it was completely authentic. Remember that our FMC turns 19 in this book. She's just a kid.

Audio: 4🎧 the performance was incredible but the sound quality was a little rough

Spice: 1🫑

A note for sensitive readers: check your TWs! This book contains a lot of talk about substance use and a SA (more info about that in the spoiler)

There is an on page SA to the FMC. It is not graphic and easily skipable but it is definitely there and she processes her feelings afterward. There is community talk of SA and there is no legal justice for what was done to her.

Loved the characters. The plot at time was a little ridiculous but overall was enjoyable. Also liked that the writer kept in mind non-native readers and would explain some aspects of their culture.

Top read of 2024! Dark but not gratuitous. Amazing exploration of contemporary Native American culture, community ties. Plotted very well.
