“Hope was a thing with flimsy wings”

“Eliminate was a scary verb; it leaned adjacent to genocide”

There is a lot going on at the beginning of this book, but definitely hang on because it's worth it. On its surface, it's a book about a group of teens trying to save a pizza place. But it's also so much more than that. It's about community, about friendship, about learning to ask for help when you need it. 

This is Ferguson's second novel, but it's pack just as much of a punch as the first. Not only does she create incredibly well-rounded characters, but she deals with tough issues with such care. This book in particular focuses on the disappearance of Native women and the way many people look the other way. There's some hard stuff in this book, but it's definitely worth the read.

A moving coming-of-age story with a touch of mystery and a passionate focus on the missing Indigenous crisis in North America (specifically Canada). This was an eye opening, rage inducing, emotional, funny and warm, slice of life read with a lovely found family element. Ferguson takes on issues such as grief, depression, grooming, gentrification, systemic racism and Indigenous rights with grace and care and her authors note was particularly enlightening and emotional to read. This is my first read from Jen Ferguson but most certainly won’t be my last, as I loved the way she crafted her characters, relationships and situations and the deep, obvious care that went into each and every sentence and decision.
