Powerful ... Dang uses the metaphor to expertly explore Ronny’s deep rage and grief over the devastating losses of her brother and her virginity, as well as how she reclaims her power; and in doing so, she finds a deeper connection with her family and her heritage. Intense, visceral, and not to be missed.

Brutal and poignant; Dang writes beautifully about the complexity of adolescence and generational trauma ... Balancing vulnerability, rage, horror, and compassion, the novel explores identity as both a blessing and curse.
