A tour-de-force debut novel about a Two-Spirit Indigiqueer young man and proud NDN glitter princess who must reckon with his past when he returns home to his reserve. “You're gonna need a rock and a whole lotta medicine” is a mantra that Jonny Appleseed, a young Two-Spirit/Indigiqueer, repeats to himself in this vivid and utterly compelling debut novel by poet Joshua Whitehead.

This book surprised me. It is a departure from the books I read regularly. It was so much better than I had expected. I enjoyed how each chapter flowed with memories and present experiences. I listened to it on a 5 hour drive then listened to the end after I unloaded my vehicle. The voice made me feel that I was listening to the main character telling me his story. I have a friend who started a book club and both of us would recommend you read this book. Very impressed.
