This is a wonderful book full of love of community and culture and family, but in a complicated, real-feeling way. There is a lot of tragedy and saddness there, but it doesn't totally overwhelm you because there is balance and the main character is rooted in her values and has a support system.
I live in the USA, so on Native land, and I really appreciate any opportunity to learn more about the land I live on and the people who have cared for it for centuries before my great grandparents moved here from Italy. Especially when the author makes it so fun to learn!

im surprised i was rooting for jaime at the end like it truly was a forbidden romance but also get away from her! you pig! dont use her for ur self actualization
the pansy gathering (which boulley said she created in this book to simulate an Anishnaabe ceremony) was super impactful. my heart is so heavy when I think about Lily’s death.
