This was a beautiful, poignant, and incredibly well-written collection. It made me think, it made me feel, and it made me want to explore the author's other works.

This is a excellent little book. Simpson's prose is lyrical and her verse is prosaic, all settling into a bubbling brook of sarcastic, fast-moving storytelling. She writes both earnestly and ironically about feeling a need to perform her indigenousness for other white people and for herself, about life in the suburbs, about relationships on social media, and about CanLit. All ruminating on impossible situation of growing up in a post-colonial society with so few answers for how to feel, how to live, how to co-exist.
