He Mele A Hilo: A Hilo Song by Ryka Aoki
5.0
This is a fantastic character study that had me reminiscing about Hawaii.
Compared to The Light From Uncommon Stars, this book runs without a plot and it may be better for it. There are a lot of common themes between the two novels. They both celebrate food, art, locale, and self discovery. They both have characters that leap off the page. The story here builds slowly like the ride rolling in and crescendos into a satisfying conclusion. The Light From Uncommon Stars Grand is engaging right from the beginning and the plot is strong right to the climax but the ending left me a bit disappointed.
