I love seeing a story set here in Alberta, and even more so with some ace representation. It brought me back to living in a res, and felt like, while feeling somewhat simple in its story, well executed in conveying some pretty complex issues, on top of a grounded story about a girl coming into her own, feeling othered, and dealing with her families demons coming home to roost.

The ace rep is the type of inclusion that pops up organically, based on the situations she’s in, and not a book capital a about that, and a crash course on it. Which I liked. It would have probably felt awkward otherwise, in this kind of story.
