This was such a fun adventure and I need 14 of them right now🙂‍↕️ Hanalei and Sam were so adorable and well rounded. Their adoration and dedication to one another and those around them was so palpable, you couldn't help but cheer them on. I definitely need a couple more stories of their adventures across the Nominomi. R.I.P Fetu 😔
Dragonfruit was a delightful YA story that touches on grief, sense of identity, trauma, duty and community. Carrying you to a different world of sea dragons, magic & pacific island mythology, this story captivates you leaves you intrigued. 5⭐️
