There There is about how connected people are—sometimes without even realizing it—and the extent to which such connections can change lives. It is a layered look at contemporary Native American identity. It is a testament to the continued impact of both settler colonialism and whitewashed revisionist depictions of settler colonialism.

It got confusing at times because I read the book in shorter bursts and struggled to keep all the characters (and especially how they related to one another) straight. But, all in all, I think this was a strong debut.
