Finished this morning for #SundayBuddyRead this is not a book that I normally would choose or even knew anything about but I found myself caught up in it. The writing is bleak & beautiful & a lot unfolds in 160 pages. I found myself both frustrated with & rooting for our unnamed narrator, a young Native American man, living on the res in Montana. Of course the usual careful research & discussions led by Christine made it come to life.
pick#sundaybuddyread I had never heard of this author and I‘m quite grateful for being pointed in his direction by our fearless and tireless buddy read leader @TheBookHippie this story is heartbreaking and in the last chapter/section I really thought it was going to fully break my heart but thank goodness it ended with a smidge of hope
so-soIt was beautifully written but it was hard for me to stay focused on the story. Also, the ending had me scratching my head.
It‘s always difficult to rate a short story anthology, but I did enjoy the interweaving of the setting of Sandy June‘s Drive-In and the magical realism aspect of it being set outside of time and space and appearing to people who needed it most. I didn‘t realize this was Young Adult, so a lot of the stories had to do with high school/coming of age.
