Firekeeper's Daughter

Veronica Mars, mystery-solving, crime-solving vibes, and exploration of indigenous identity, and a cover that is something dreams are made of? Mwah! Really a strong book by Boulley. It follows a teen girl who investigates drug crimes, and while on the surface that sounds like your typical teen-solving-mysteries book, this one is so much more. There's topics like the struggle to find and solidify one's identity, there's twists and turns and some massive “HOLY SHIT” moments. I will say sometimes the plot felt a little overwhelming in all that was happening, which took away some believableness (is that a word? eh...), but hey, ya girl is cool with some flair in plots. This is just the book you should read if you like mystery and twists and turns with exploration of important topics, a little romance sprinkled in (because don't almost all novels have that?), and a kickass mc who I think a lot of people can relate to in some way or another.
