This book has just risen to the top of my favorite of all time list. I’m not sure how I can give it enough praise to share just how much I loved it. 

I listened in audio at the recommendation of a friend and this book, by far, is one of the best I’ve ever listened to as an audiobook. So if you need a new audiobook, choose this one!

I’ve seen many say it’s not what they were expecting. That they were expecting magical realism or something like that. There’s no magical realism here - the story is built around the Ojibwe community where 18 year old Daunis is about to start college with her best friend Lilly when she gets pulled into something that’s been plaguing her community for a long time. 

It’s a story filled with mystery and thriller aspects, family, loss, and acceptance. It also shares the plight of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and what happens when lines between Indigenous communities and federal enforcement intertwine.

I can’t recommend me this one enough - thank you Jude for telling me pick it up.
