4.5

The writing in this book is amazing, it is arresting and sincere, and the way Tommy Orange interweaves different stories to end up with a deep and unsettling tapesty of Urban Indians is fascinating. I think some parts of the book didn't contribute as much and seemed a bit unfinished, such as
Blue and Edwin's parent storylines
, but perhaps that ties into the ending. Overall, a great read.
