I love independent bookstores one because I’m supporting someone’s dream. Two they are always cuter than any non independent bookstore. Three the selection at independent bookstores always catches me by surprise. There’s always so many new authors I discover and books I’ve never seen before.
A few nights ago I had a dream where I was talking to my dad and telling him I couldn’t breathe. I needed to wake up. I started to hyperventilate and woke up in a cold sweat. I feel like that’s the closest I can describe what Bad Cree made me feel. It’s one of those books that by the end has crawled under your skin and you’re sitting there wondering how to explain to someone why they need to read this book immediately. Johns discusses culture, grief, and family and how they never really leave you no matter how far you try and run away from them.
