And I found the voice, the repetition all the long repetitive flowery passages annoying.

Yes girls have desires and they are complicated and uncomfortable for the adults that want to protect them but their desires are not what endangers them, the adults who prey on and use children for their own ends is the danger and it feels irresponsible not to make that at least a bit more clear. But how the story ends up landing and the authors interviews about it which I read trying to make some sense of these story choices end up here putting way too much onus on the girls themselves. In this atmospheric debut, a young Native girl investigates the mysterious disappearance of women from her tribes reservation. Thirteen-year old Lizzie and Evie are inseparable until Evie suddenly disappears.

I get that the narrator is confused and she’s trying to make something beautiful out of an incredible trauma. I was also hoping the narrator would come to a conclusion about the difference between love and violence but she never does…a conclusion I’m not sure the author ever came to either? Like I get the theme about girls sexuality and how perilous it is to be discovering and working out that sexuality in a world where you are either ignored or sexually objectified. I guess the mystery elements were very well developed and the characters compelling because I wanted to hang in there long enough to find out what happened to Evie and what the heck was happening in this Verver family.
