Interesting but with so many characters meant we didn’t get enough time with most of them.

Pretty good, quick read, I like how characters are starting to connect

😭

This is a heavy story of stories and truths. I didn’t expect to feel so much reading this.

“The tragedy of it all will be unspeakable, the fact we’ve been fighting for decades to be recognized as a present-tense people, modern and relevant, alive, only to die in the grass wearing feathers.”

Re-reading for a class!

"Secrets lie through omission. Just like shame lies through secrecy."

"there's something about seeing johnny depp fail so badly that gives me strength." LMAO me too buddy

Reading this for Buzzword Readathon. Its been sitting heavily in my shelf….

His prose is lovely and conflicts with the gnarly subject matter. It makes for great reading thus far

“We choose what we do, and in that choice comes the community. We are choosing for them. All the time. Thats what these kids are feeling. They have no control.”

“They’re making the decision that it’s better to be dead and gone than to be alive in what we have here, this life, the one we made for them, the one they’ve inherited.”

Only one chapter in and the writing is soso good

I’m up to part 2, and I honestly don’t really know what to think, I don’t really feel anything towards the characters and I’m not really interested. I think the thing is it’s so many POVs and every single one of them is also just depressing but I also don’t like the characters and yeah 🙃

forgettable lmao

somewhere between 30 odd and 50 ish percent thru depending on how I measure it!?! ;)

Tea is hot
