Still pollen deep in spring but sunny day felt right for flip flops and a beach read.

I just came across a starred review on Kirkus Reviews for this book and can't wait to read it! I love learning about indigenous cultures home and abroad, and reading fiction written by Indigenous authors. This book received a Printz Honor Book award for excellence in young adult literature. https://www.levinequerido.com/fire-from-the-sky #LGBT #LGBTQ #Sweden #Sami #IndigenousPeoples #ComingofAge #FirstLove #YoungAdultLiterature #YALiterature

Wyatt broke Sam's heart 12 years ago since when she hasn't seen him but this summer she takes her fiancé to her family's beach house - and Wyatt is there too.
Ch 24; still haven't got to the reason for their break-up. Looks suspiciously like Sam's family is throwing them together in spite of the fact that she & Jack are looking for a wedding venue.
When a friend found out I LOVE Fangirl (as you can see) she recommended E&P, which is such a ‘tug on your heart strings‘ story, that if you were the Grinch, your heart would be guaranteed to grow 3 sizes. It is wholesome, relatable, and so real. And that‘s why I love Rowell. She can write the sweetest of stories that we can all experience. I don‘t usually go for a dose of reality but when it‘s done right, it‘s beautiful.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I don‘t think the world works that way,” I said. “I think life is just life. We‘re put in situations and we make choices and that‘s why things happen the way they do. Taking the current when it serves.”

I haven‘t read this book since middle school (when I was obsessed with it as middle schoolers are) and boy is it horrible. Like awful. Truly. It‘s waaaaay more racist than I remember???? And it fetishizes Asian people in the weirdest way???? I just want to know why a full grown adult woman wrote this book about 16 year olds yearning for each other. It‘s just bad.
A hard hitting graphic novel.
