Fun read. Young adult, but an interesting angle at least: Native American heroine crime novel.

This was a good page-turner! Sometimes, I didn’t like Daunis, the main character. She seemed a little stuck up toward the hockey girlfriends though she matures over the course of the story. YA protagonists may seem irrational at times, but it’s more realistic for teen/young adults to not have it all together.

I really enjoyed the tidbits about grief, forgiveness, and family. I LOVED the healthy ending conversation between Daunis and Jamie. I wondered why the story was set from 2004 – 2005. Until you read a Superbowl 2004 reference you forget all about the timeframe. But if I remember right, the author set it here because this was the height of the meth boom.

While the final reveal was fun, the "villain" seemed cartoony/too good to be true. Still, this is worth a read.

CW: Sexual assault (not detailed), of course, references to drugs

100% recommend. Fantastic characters, strong female lead, really great plot, and helpful insights into some of the lived experiences of the Indigenous people of the Upper Peninsula. ♥️
