Status Updates From If I Ever Get Out of Here

In some ways this book is about growing up as an American Indian. In other ways it's about growing up in poverty. I have never lived in poverty like this but the shame the main character feels for his home makes me teary.

Enjoying this. Hate that it's an adobe edition so I can only read a little and I didn't get to review it before the date. (Adobe editions grrr). But the book is quite good.

I want to punch this Rose girl right now.

I just realized how unfair and problematic it is that I'm mentally wanting to compare this to Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian. Here's the thing, there is plenty of room for books about Native Americans in literature. So there are 2 that take place on reservations. How many books take place in suburbs? The comparison might be inevitable but that's probably a reminder how few of these type books there are

I want to read this mainly because I love Absolutely True Diary and I hope it's not a rip off. Also I hate that this pub only sends Adobe Digital Editions.

Oof. This dialogue... *wince*
