Imagine an America very similar to our own. It's got homework, best friends, and pistachio …

Review of 'Elatsoe' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

While I didn't personally love this as much as I hoped I would, I can see why it's so highly recommended. Urban fantasy I guess just isn't really my jam these days, though I really enjoyed Ellie's ghost stuff and the stories about her Six-Great-Grandmother. Also as an Australian is was really cool to learn a bit about a Native American culture through an own voices story.

Did not realise going in that there would be ace rep, but as an ace myself it was a nice surprise, especially since it's not really important, just an aspect of the character and extremely normalised. Also nice to just read a YA book with zero romance lol.

Overall, it was well-written and a fun book to read even if it's not a new favourite and I pass on the recommendation!
