4.0

This book was labelled as a mystery and thriller and I wouldn't really say it was either of those. 

It was mostly sad and frustrating. (Frustrating as in empathizing with the Indigenous characters)

This really highlighted the current day systemic racism and absolute failure of the system, but it also showed how persistence and activism can work.

The first chapter was way too long.
I'm going to be thinking about these characters for a long while.
