So... why do people like this?
It's a complete non-presence for me. It's a mystery without any mystery. It's a historical fiction without any history. It's a contemporary without any real emotion. Joe kinda just sucks and Norma wasn't very fleshed out. I'm seeing reviews where people say this talks about residential schools, MMIW, loss of culture, etc. and all I have to say is... did we read the same book? These topics are barely touched on, if at all. I just don't get it. I would've DNF'd if I wasn't reading this for book club.
