Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead
5.0

This book was just INCREDIBLE. It's like a book that is truly about love at the end of the day, but also very specific kinds of love, love that is painful but we can't turn away from. And it does it from this very specific position; this book is so deeply rooted in Two Spirit-edness and being Two Spirit in the present, and its veneration of Native women is powerful. There are so many beautiful moments, beautiful sentences, and explorations of what it means to live, and I feel so grateful to get to read it. Really an incredible book, and so deserving of all the awards it has won.
