I ended up enjoying the hell out of this, despite the absolute need for willing suspension of disbelief that a government agency would recruit an 18-year-old (and teach her to make meth so she would be able to recognize the process) without a parent being informed. Honestly, I could have done without the meth storyline entirely.
What I LOVED was the interaction between community members, Auntie and the holidays and pow wows. I found learning about the culture so powerful- maybe that is why the plot with the meth seems so trivial in comparison.
Boulley's voice is incredible.
Again, just want to state for the record that I HATE that Reece Witherspoon has slapped her book club sticker on the cover. I almost didn't read it just because of that.
