4.0

+ for diversity, nice to read something that. 
Maybe I expected more towards the end, but still felt like this ending was meant to be something as a new beginning for whatever we hope it is. I guess we’ll see more of them but as a sidecharacter in the other books. 

Would reccommend this one and the second one in the same series.

For the spicy stuff

I enjoyed this book, but at first the family members and backstory was really confusing. I'm still not sure why one family is referred to as the both the Okos and the Kanes. Otherwise, the characters are diverse and fleshed out. The book talks about Japanese internment and depression; these are all dealt with respectfully and thoughtfully. I enjoy Rai's later books more, but this one is still solid and a good read.
