GREAT BOOKS I DON'T TALK ABOUT ENOUGH

it just really explores a lot of those complex difficult topics I think really well and it does so in a way that's quite entertaining and there's kind of a cute little romantic subplot in it as well

it felt like I was watching a documentary and it felt so well done it felt like I was there that I was experiencing the mystery of these murders alongside these detectives and these oage Native Americans and I was gripped and I was terrified for them

and I think it is incredibly Bleak it's incredibly heavy it is not a joyful read whatsoever there's basically no cheerier moments in this but I still think it is fantastic

I was like hold on this is a really interesting murder mystery and also maybe a really sweet love story too

I think that Neil Schusterman did such a good job with that I still really enjoyed it's great it's great and it's also really funny which you wouldn't expect cuz it seems very depressing and dark but it's funny

I think the author approached this in a more hopeful and optimistic way and I could see some people feeling like they wish it had been a little bit serious and had gone a little bit deeper while I think other readers are going to appreciate that you can see a story in which somebody who is dealing with racism also can have a sense of agency
