The Summer Of Bitter And Sweet is the kind of book that hits on such a deep level. It is hard to come up with the right words to describe everything that this story means. Louisa undergoes so much trauma and challenges that so many indigenous women and girls are forced to face, trauma that spans generations, and it is written about in such an insightful and thought-provoking way. But she also is surrounded by the people that she loves and gets to experience the joys and triumphs of that. I will be thinking about the story for a long time, and you will too.
