diverse teen fiction (gay teen feeling trapped in an Indian reservation; other themes of depression/suicide--author is a gay man from a reservation who wrote/directed an indie film of the same title #ownvoices)
I was having trouble concentrating on the story (my fault more than the writing--the writing seemed pretty good though maybe the story translates better on screen?) but was glad to see these diverse voices portrayed. More, please.

This book was a really good, and from what I can tell, accurate view of certain Native American reservations, while also dealing with LGBTQA topics and the idea of two-spirited persons in Native American culture. I definitely recommend this book with the warning to keep in mind that this story does not represent all of the different values and traditions held throughout the various tribes and/or bands.
