Synopsis
A poignant coming-of-age YA featuring an Indigenous teen girl grappling with the effects of intergenerational trauma while navigating school, family and young love, by the bestselling author of Weird Rules to Follow. It is 1990.
Morgan has lived all her life in the small fishing town of Prince Rupert in northern British Columbia. Ever since her mom took off when she was ten, Morgan has kept an eye on her dad, a commercial fisherman who works hard and occasionally parties even harder.
After struggling to keep up and find a place at a public high school, Morgan's best friend Skye convinces her to attend an alternate school. There, she meets Nate.
Both cute and intelligent, Nate introduces her to a wider worldview, including music, movies and books, and becomes a lifeline after an unimaginable tragedy strikes.
In the aftermath, Morgan learns hard truths about her mother's painful past and the resulting intergenerational effects of that trauma, and as she struggles to come to terms with her new reality, an unexpected development offers a chance of a fresh start, with love and forgiveness at its core.

I like the way this book was written. Small, quick glimpses into daily life, not long overblown chapters that meander here and there. It was a nice break from some of the other books I've been reading lately.
