Hula by Jasmin Iolani Hakes
3.0
emotional informative slow-paced
Diverse cast of characters: Yes


Thank you @libro.fm for a copy of this audiobook. I have so many thoughts on this book. 

Here's what I loved about this book:
- the narration was great from the pronunciation of Hawaiian words to the pidgin English that was used
- this was a great book with history of Hawaii and what the colonization did to the Hawaiians
- the idea of family vs ohana

Here's what I didn't like about it:
- the 3rd person POV, it didn't make me feel invested in the story 
- the amount of history and lack of conversation in the first half of the book

Overall, this was a great fictional story with a lot of historical aspects of Hawaii.
