In true Kevin Wilson style, this book deals with dysfunctional families. A group of strangers who discover they share the same father set out on a road trip to find their dad.

Although this isn't my favorite by him, it was still a good read. At times, scenarios felt too easily resolved, but I enjoyed seeing the relationships between the characters grow as the story progressed.

Good family drama book. I just felt that the love triangle was over dramatized. Lots of characters and back stories to keep the plot moving, but some parts didn‘t hit perfectly for me. Loved the setting, vibrancy of Kolkata.

This book caught my eye at the checkout counter at a bookstore, so I borrowed the audiobook from the library and I don't regret it. I didn't realize the intended audience skewed a bit younger, but it was a wonderful tale with a beautiful voice that touched on a difficult subject in a way that didn't minimize the different forms of heartache that manifest around it.

Its almost funny, me wanting to forget the "everything that happened," when that was exactly where I was still stuck. Maybe the only way to get unstuck was to remember.

Sometimes a stretch of sorrow can make you serious, unsure of who you are on the other side of it all.

I love Ann Patchett. I love Meryl Streep. I love "Our Town".

So, yeah, I loved this book on audio.

I picked this up for a Decolonize Your Bookshelf challenge. It‘s written by a two-spirit author about a two-spirit child who makes a ribbon skirt to wear to a pow wow. They are nervous about what others will think, but after speaking to the lake spirit and various animal spirits, they decide to do what makes them happy. It‘s a sweet illustrated graphic novel with a great message.

Life hasn‘t been easy, but it gets less painful every day, and as I look at Saif, I know that love—in its essence, at its core—is the most bittersweet thing there is.
