Very good. The narrative in the north is so real and stunning. I wish it had ended there. The canoe trip is epic. Will maybe read again in 10 years

This was boring. There were a couple of mildly interesting things that happened. But, overall, pretty slow and boring. And I didn‘t see one likable thing about Dido, who seemed to just go back and forth between the men. In fact, I don‘t think I really liked very many of the characters… maybe Gwen, but then I skimmed so much of the book in the end, so hard to say if she really was likable

There is some really beautiful writing in this book and I grew quite fond of a couple of the characters, but the story moved at such a glacial pace that I struggled to pick it up or stay engaged. 3⭐️

This was my #BookSpin pick for January and my #NorthwestTerritories read for #ReadCanada!

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 3y
MsMelissa I bailed on this one, mainly because it was so slow. It obviously wasn‘t memorable for me as I can‘t remember a thing about it otherwise 😂 3y
candority @Book_Fiend_Melissa I was tempted to bail so many times, but I kept hoping for something to change. Honestly, you made the right decision 😂 I have another one of her books on my list for #ReadCanada. Hopefully it‘s better! 🤞 3y

AlaMich David Sedaris does the audio of his books and they‘re definitely worth listening to, if audiobooks are a thing you do. 3y

OMG! This review is a delicate exercise. I so wanted to be supportive of that book & author. This is the most basic writing (not to be confused with simple) that I have ever read in a book 😳 I‘m glad the author is getting attention for Indigenous rights based on her story, for I do support her mission. She must be a very charismatic and inspirational person to talk or listen to. #ReadCanada 3/13 #NorthWestTerritories
I feel bad 🤷🏻‍♀️

MsMelissa Too bad you didn‘t enjoy it. 4y
KVanRead Yikes! But good to know, thanks. 4y
Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira @KVanRead it‘s a small book, if you can borrow it, you could give it a try; maybe you could enjoy it 😔 4y

Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira @Book_Fiend_Melissa I sort of had the reaction you got for Split Tooth. “What did I just read?” 😳 Have you read this one? 4y
MsMelissa @Josee.a.lu.lit.et.lira I haven‘t read it, no. Based on your review I‘m not going to 😂 4y

Starting this one now. As the resume claims, hoping for insight into real issues many Indigenous women face in the light of family ties, education, spirituality, cultural identity, health happiness and courage to speak the truth. ▪️I wonder what it is about the timing in my life, but this is my 3rd book by native authors from Canada this summer. I had never read any before 🤷🏻‍♀️ #ReadCanada #WomanAuthor #NorthWestTerritories #BAnQ

MsMelissa Looking forward to your review of this one. 4y
