Sentence

An unsteady book, wherever you may stumble in reading it I can at least say it was about to turn a corner to something else quirky unexpected and real, and the bulk of the story is true enough and heartfelt as far as I can recall and relate, a 2020 Covid & George Floyd indigenous bookstore memoir for Minneapolis.

When written well, an annoying character doesn't have to be annoying (I'm looking at you Holden.). In the beginning of the novel and by her own admission, Tookie is a 'bad' person. But I still hoped for her. Then her life settles and she's funny and angry and scared and sad. I was with her the whole way.

A beautiful book.
