Great book. Really captures the era: Minneapolis early in the covid pandemic, when no one was sure what was safe - and then the George Floyd murder and the uprising that followed.
Minneapolis has been Ground Zero lately, and Erdrich brings it to life.
I don't always "trust" happy endings - it's hard to write them convincingly. I admire writers who can write a happy ending without seeming contrived. In my "serious" writing, I tend toward the bittersweet, but in comedy I give it a mostly-happy ending.

Yokai mythology, dual POV, liminal worlds, restrained slow-burn, duty and choice, earned trust. Shadow of the Fox x An Ember in the Ashes x Divine Rivals. Dark images of forests with eyes looming in the trees, a man with a katana, a torii gate, and an empty bullet train station.
A grieving girl and a duty-bound shinobi are drawn into a generational mystery rooted in the divide between human and spirit realms. As the walls between worlds collapse, they must decide whether saving both worlds means mending fractures or severing them entirely. #WSPit #WIPSnips #Q #YA #NA #F

I was overwhelmed: by the warmth of his hands on my face, by the way the music went silent, by the metallic smell of his hair. And, oh yeah, by the kiss. I felt like the world was on fire. And I smelled smoke.
Why did I smell smoke?
